Ain't Gonna Settle Down; The Pioneering Blues of Mary Stafford & Edith Wilson

"Ain't Gonna Settle Down" features all 14 recordings made by the obscure but remarkable cabaret star Mary Stafford in 1921 and 1926 and 32 selections by Louisville-born Edith Wilson, covering her entire released repertoire from 1921 to 1930. A handsomely illustrated 32-page booklet with notes by blues scholar Steve Tracy accompanies the two CDs.

Richard Martin and Meagan Hennessey have restored these recordings to a level that's now easy (for me anyway!) to listen to. Beginning to appreciate these 'classic' blues singers. Thanks.
