Tracking down the ultimate woman blues guitar hero is problematic
because woman blues singers seldom recorded as guitar players and
woman guitar players (such as Rosetta Tharpe and Sister O.M. Terrell)
were seldom recorded playing blues. Excluding contemporary artists,
the most notable exception to this pattern was Memphis Minnie. The
most popular and prolific blueswoman outside the vaudeville
tradition, she earned the respect of critics, the support of
record-buying fans, and the unqualified praise of the blues artists
she worked with throughout her long career. Despite her Southern
roots and popularity, she was as much a Chicago blues artist as
anyone in her day. Big Bill Broonzy recalls her beating both him and
Tampa Red in a guitar contest and claims she was the best woman
guitarist he had ever heard. Tough enough to endure in a hard
business, she earned the respect of her peers with her solid
musicianship and recorded good blues over four decades for Columbia,
Vocalion, Bluebird, Okeh, Regal, Checker, and JOB. She also proved to
have as good taste in musical husbands as music and sustained working
marriages with guitarists Casey Bill Weldon, Joe McCoy, and Ernest
Lawlars. Their guitar duets span the spectrum of African-American
folk and popular music, including spirituals, comic dialogs, and
old-time dance pieces, but Memphis Minnie's best work consisted of
deep blues like "Moaning the Blues." More than a good woman blues
guitarist and singer, Memphis Minnie holds her own against the best
blues artists of her time, and her work has special resonance for
today's aspiring guitarists.
