Okay, the recording quality is not the best, but what can you expect from something recorded in the early 1920s? Regardless, this collection of Mamie Smith's early work is well worth hearing; along with the classic "Crazy Blues," there's "That Thing Called Love," "What Have I Done?," "Sax-O-Phoney Blues," and the hilarious "I Want a Jazzy Kiss." Several instrumental tracks highlight Smith's backing band as well. If her voice doesn't come through as strongly today as does Empress Bessie's, it's still got a clear, clean tone that's a pleasure to hear. --Genevieve Williams
