Just checked her out on Amazon - very good, but for some reason Big Mama's voice seems more " timeless' , whereas Sister Rosetta's seems dated . Also forgot to add Big Maybelle as another great singer to check out .
-
@doogleandalix lets not forget about Sister Rosetta Thorpe.
-
Wow!!! It's so beautiful to hear music without the aid of auto tune.
-
wow, i just jizzed on myself...
-
I like this song the best of all that I have heard by her so far. Boy, she is really great, and she was a major influence on Elvis Presley. I had never heard of her before I read that she so heavily influenced Elvis nor had I even heard her sing until about a year ago!

If B.B.King was the King of blues, She is the queen......
-
@12barsoul Although both play harmonica that undeniably sounds like Cotton on this track.
-
James Cotton is the harmonica players

@doogleandalix Good lord thank you for bringing me back to Mama this morning! Ah, she's so amazing. Jonell Mosser, never heard of her, but I'll be looking her up, thanks! :-)
-
Yes,
I have some of her stuff - she's very good too . Above I meant to say Jonell Mosser -sorry for the typo.

Both James Cotton and Big Mama Thornton are listed as Harmonica players on this album. It could be one or both of them. Perhaps someone else will have a definite answer. And yes, this song rocks.

Can anybody tell me if there's a female singer out there today that can compare to Big Momma, Koko Taylor or Etta James.

Bettye LaVette has the vocal chops, the attitude, and the experience. Check out her first "comeback" album "A Woman Like Me".

She is no longer with us , but check out the amazing Eva Cassidy's rendition of Stormy Monday here on youtube .
Totally different than Big Mama, but Eva is one of the best ever also .
Check out Irma Thomas , Marcia Ball , Joleen Mosser -they are all very good , but Big mama was decidedly in a league of her own - and wow - what an incredible harp player she was too .

Indeed, Eva's Stormy Monday is one of my favorites. She left this world too soon.
