awesome

This lady really had the feel for blues like few others of her time. Unique voice and mean acoustic guitar. Another great talent that went too soon.
-
JohAnne and Janis Joplin were the two greatest female blues singers of that era, Janis was a supernova who burned so brightly for a short while, but Jo Anne just never got the recognition she deserved. She so sublimely talented.

i used to roadie for joanne she was a nice lady good old days.
-
fucking amazing! does she pay guitar too, or just sings?
-
WOW !

Jo Ann Kelly knew my old buddy Bill Barth who found Skip James with John Fahey & Henry Vestine. She played at the Memphis Country Blues festivals produced by Bill in the Late 60s/70s. So she learnt this song in a direct line if not from Skip himself. Jo Ann was sister to Dave Kelly from 'The Blues Band' and probably the best blues artist Britain has ever produced ( no offence to Dave or any of our other blues artists).

My first husband had a cassette tape of her back in the 70s, and now thanks to youtube, I can hear her again. Very underrated, and very damn good.

When I first heard this song so amazingly sung by Jo Ann Kelly, accompanied on guitar by Stefan Grossman, on a Stefan Grossman How To Play The Blues tape, I would have bet money she was an old school black female blues singer. I was shocked to finally see her on this YouTube site. No disrespect to Stefan Grossman, but I think I like this version better. She's great.

Yeah, one would think she was black. Her voice is strong and unique. In the 70's though women with strong, sharp voice were fashionable more than now. I mean singers like Jo Meek, Mariska Veres, and many lesser known but fantastic artists.

She was so freakishly good! So many singers try to do what she is doing here but she may be the only white female singer who I've ever heard sing the blues 100% spot on.

Jo Ann knew what blues is. Certainly blues is not a fashionable pose.
