Queens of the Blues With Gina Coleman: Kissing In The Dark

Listen closely as I, Gina Coleman, take you back to a time when the strum of a guitar on the streets of Memphis could stir your very soul. We're tipping our hats to the extraordinary Memphis Minnie, a trailblazer for women in blues whose life's work still echos in my own musical journey. From her humble beginnings to her partnership with Joe McCoy, her story is as compelling as her music. With tunes like "What's the Matter with the Mill" and "I'm Selling My Pork Chops," she spun stories that were sharp, witty, and laced with innuendo, leaving an indelible mark on the genre and inspiring generations to come, including myself.

Shift gears with me as we navigate the emotional highways of "The Chauffeur's V8 Dilemma," where love, jealousy, and the quest for exclusivity steer the narrative. The blues has always had a way of capturing the essence of the human spirit, and this chapter is no exception. As we wrap up this soulful episode, be sure to catch more of our music at Misty Blues. Until next time, keep the spirit of Memphis Minnie alive in your hearts, and remember to stay well and blessed.
