      Yes the quality is low, but what do you expect for recordings
      done in the 1920's?

      Known in her heyday as "the blues sensation of the West," the
      big-voiced Sara Martin was one of the best of the classic
      female blues singers of the '20s.
      Martin began her career as a vaudeville performer, switching
      to blues singing in the early '20s. In 1922, she began
      recording for OKeh Records, cutting a number of bawdy blues
      like "Mean Tight Mama." She continued recording until 1928.
      During this time, Martin became a popular performer on the
      southern Theater Owners' Booking Association circuits,
      eventually playing theaters and clubs on the east coast as
      well.

      In the early '30s, Sara Martin retired from blues singing and
      settled in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. While she
      was in Louisville, she ran a nursing home and occasionally
      sang gospel in church. Sara Martin died after suffering a
      stroke in 1955
