Actually Lon I haven't even examined the CD yet but in answer to your question the two females have bands behind them. Ann Peebles is an older R&B singer who recorded on HI Records she was famous for a song. "I Can't Stand The Rain." Maybe you remmember it. Irma Thomas is a New Orleans Jazz singer who worked with all those cats. Proffessor Longhair and many others. She wrote some famous songs one called"Time Is On My Side", done by the Rolling Stones and "Pain in My Heart" that Otis Redding did later. Her Live album is some of the best big band New Orleans music you can hear. The Hipsters thing sounds good. Those guys had a feeling that has been hard to capture for the newer artists. I know it is the same for the delta blues material but the truth is the originals did do it right. I'll have to check out that CD you mention.
