Angels Sing The Blues

The angels in this live performance recorded in 2007 at Chicago’s Taste Entertainment Center–Liz Mandeville, Mary Lane and Shirley Johnson–are truly the voices you will hear when real angels sing the Blues. Backed by keyboard player Johnny Drummer, known as a “storyteller under a groove,” and his soulful, funky band The Starliters, these blues divas ease from rowdy and risque, to sweet and soulful and everything in between. The album also has several studio tracks with an equally stellar backing band of crack Chicago session players. One of the highlights is “Angel From Montgomery,” on which Shirley, Mary and Liz trade off lyrics, bringing a deep blues feel to this classic tune. Mary Lane also debuts her new tune on this album, “Red Light.”
