The 12-song Heritage of the Blues:
Shake It Baby collection of Mississippi singer/guitarist Jessie Mae
Hemphill is certainly needed. She didn't have the opportunity to record
very often. As a matter of fact, her greatest exposure came through an
appearance in Robert Palmer's 1993 film Deep Blues, which featured
footage of Hemphill playing bass drum as part of Jessie Mae's Fife and
Drum Band and then playing solo guitar. The tracks on Heritage of the
Blues were recorded between 1979 and 1988 and feature Hemphill on
guitar, diddley bow, drums, foot tambourine, and bells. It also includes
three previously unreleased versions of "All Night Boogie (Jessie's
Boogie)," "Shake It, Baby," and "Baby, Please Don't Go." This is
timeless electric Delta blues recommended to both novices and
historians. ~ Al Campbell
