Complete Vanguard recordings except one alternate take. Covers the following original LP's:
"Sassy Mama" VSD79354, "Big Mama swings" VSD79572 both with Buddy Lucas-ts and Cornell Dupree-g, and "Jail" VSD79351 (live at Monroe Prison, Eugene, Or.) The bass that was rolled off the original vinyl releases has been restored. The track "Mixed up feeling" (more than 9') is terrific.
A very good buy.

Turbocharged, hard drivin, lip smaking, foot stompin BLUES!! 26 July 2001
By David Cantu - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I am a "born again" blues listener. This colletion of three CD's could probably be called the rollercoaster of Texas-based blues. Ms Thornton is the connection to past female blues greats, such as Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith and Memphis Minnie. This is the performer that inspired Janis Joplin. The first CD, (a live performance recorded in a jail) includes "Ball and Chain", which she dedicates to Janis. The second CD entitled "Sassy Mama" includes "Rolling Stone", "Mr Cool and "Sassy Mama", the title track rocks as if it were a live recording. The final CD is a previously unreleased collection that, to me is the best of the three. All are good!

The collection includes a booklet written by Ed Ward, the rock historian for National Public Radio's "Fresh Air". In this booklet one will discover that Ms Thornton was a far more flamboyant personality than Janis, preferring Gin and Milk to Janis' Southern Comfort. Another fact that will surprise you will be her connection to Elvis Presley's fame. Every track rocks, she lifts you by the collar and screams you into the blues. This collection is a must for anyone that enjoys hard drivin female blues vocalists

A Powerhouse 11 April 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This three disc set is one that I keep finding myself returning to time and time again. It's raw power and energy, like being assualted with rythm. Each track refuses to be ignored. Big Mama Thornton rips into song with a power reminiscent of Koko Taylor and Janice Joplin. Every time I've listened to this I find it incredible that Big Mama Thornton hasn't received more recognition than just "Hound Dog". If you like music as an experiance (versus just background noise) do not miss this!

Wonderful collection 2 April 2011
By Jaya - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The songs on these CD's are amazing. If you like old-time blues, this is the set to get. Down-home vocals by Big Mama accompanied by talented musicians. I have not stopped playing it since it arrived. My favorites are "Mr. Cool" "Goodbye Baby" and "Big Mama Swings." Thanks Amazon!!!
