Product Description
From Amazon.com
Recorded at Wolf Trap in Virginia, Live & Uppity is just what it sounds like: a live performance by the sassiest, most attitudinal blueswomen in the business--and that's saying something. The opening song, "Cold Pizza and Warm Beer," a halfway-rueful morning-after song, sets the tone for the album; it's going to be a party, with no regrets. And the women of Saffire are funny, too. "You'll Never Get Me out of Your Mind" is introduced as "a song that I wrote back when I was getting rid of my second husband." Songs like "You Can Have My Husband" (a nod to Koko Taylor), "Bitch with a Bad Attitude," "Dump That Chump," and the hilarious, double-entendre- laden "Silver Beaver" are humorous and savvy, with topnotch, energetic performances from all three members. Yet Saffire have their serious side as well, as can be heard on "Lonely Nights," the startlingly tender "Hold Me Close," and the somber "1-800-799- 7233," a song about domestic violence (the number is for the National Domestic Violence Hotline). Though Saffire's sassy, clever humor is a major reason to listen to them, there's clearly plenty of substance here as well; their songwriting is first-rate, as is their choice of cover material, and it's all performed with skill and heart. Very highly recommended. --Genevieve Williams

Lovely Golden Girls of Blues !!!,
By Diablo3 (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live And Uppity (Audio CD)
I am their big fan since I was a college student when I first heard their songs. I am glad this album is recorded in Wolf Trap, Virginia, where is my neighborhood and I visit there once in a while for great concerts. That makes me feel even closer and intimate to this live album.All the songs are so good that I don't think yuou should skip any of them. And their energy is even pure and vivid in the live performance !!

Love These Ladies!!,
By Cynthia Enig (Hyattsville, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live And Uppity (Audio CD)
This CD was given to me by a fabulous blues/boogie musician, and she sure knew what she liked here! This is a wonderful CD, with tunes you'll find yourself singing around the house (and sometimes just little snippets to annoy the men in your lives, ladies)! Love it!

The Best There Is Of The Blues,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live And Uppity (Audio CD)
This album is fabulous and is a must for any blues fan who enjoys listening to the real thing. Being from Chattanooga, the home of Bessie Smith, these ladies make me proud of the Blues Heritage of this town. One of my favorite cuts is "You'll Never Get Me Out Of Your Mind" written and sung by Anne Rabson. "Mr. Insurance Man" sung by Andra Faye makes me want to start selling policies. Gaye Adegoalola wrote and sings "Silver Beaver," one of my other favorites on the album. It makes you want to see it, pet it and and kiss it's cute little nose. There is something on this album for everyone. It's a must for the blues collector.
