Blues Alley - The Founding Mothers - Ethel Waters
Episode 6
Monday, 3 June, 2024
When most people think of American blues - they envision a solitary man, with a battered old guitar - waiting at the crossroad to claim his destiny of fame and fortune, but all that would come decades after the genre first became a hit. What few people realize today - is that the first decade of blues music was dominated by women. Much of their music is irreverent, biting and vehemently feminist. Their names are largely unknown today, but it’s past time they received their due - as the Founding Mothers of American Music. We’ll tell you the whole amazing story of these remarkable women - on AEWorks Blues Alley – The Founding Mothers Podcast. We’d love for you to SUBSCRIBE.
