"I'm a Bad, Bad Girl" series

thanks to RYP & Gyro1966 yet again. [*grin*]

nifty blues or r&b [depending pretty much on how you happen to perceive it - i hear blues] series focusing, obviously, on ladies. it aint the same comp as the "Sultry Divas" collection here ...

... tho there is a bit of overlap in performers. holiday, barker and washington are the 1st three i notice. both are fine, _fine_ collections of blues ladies a-singing.
