Empress of the Blues Vol. 2: 1926 - 1933

Samen met Queen of the Blues volume 1 (JSPCD 929) omvat deze nieuwe 4-cdbox het volledige werk, inclusief alternative takes, van blueszangeres Bessie Smith. Volgens velen is zij nog steeds de grootste blueszangeres uit de muziekhistorie en in ieder geval een grote inspiratiebron voor zangeressen als Janis Joplin en Amy Winehouse. Gezien de prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding gelden deze twee boxen momenteel als de absolute beste koop.
