| | Female Blues: Remaining Titles 1922-1927 CD
In 1997 Document released a 24 track grab bag of rare female blues recordings from the 1920s, presented as a coda to the label's expansive series of "Female Blues Singers" compilations containing material dating exclusively from the years 1920 to 1930. In 1998 Document followed suit with a second volume of "Female Blues: the Remaining Titles," this time focusing on the years 1938-1949 to top off some of the company's blues, barrelhouse, swing, and early R&B collections. Document 1528 is a decidedly pungent sampler that combines the works of seven powerfully expressive women. Bea Foote, best known for her ostentatiously marijuana induced "Weed"; Lil Green, still one of the world's great overlooked heroines of the blues; Ruby Walker Smith, Bessie Smith's niece and traveling companion; Perline Ellison, Lillie Mae Kirkman, Muriel Nichols, and Monette Moore. In addition to those already mentioned, the instrumentalists heard on this excellent album include seasoned jazzmen like trumpeter Henry Red Allen, trombonist J. C. Higginbotham, pianist James P. Johnson, guitarists Big Bill Broonzy and Teddy Bunn, and drummer Big Sid Catlett.
