Ida Cox- Wild Women Don't Have The Blues-LP

Ida Cox’s Wild Women Don't Have The Blues stands as a striking document of early blues with a feminist edge, spotlighting her 1924 "Wild Women Don't Have The Blues" that defiantly flips the script on gender norms of its time. This 1981 reissue gathers remastered recordings from 1961, where Cox’s commanding voice is backed by the Coleman Hawkins Quintet, blending classic blues storytelling with subtle jazz textures. The album’s gatefold format invites listeners into a richer experience, with nine additional tracks like "Blues For Rampart Street" and "Lawdy, Lawdy Blues" deepening the narrative of hardship and resilience that Cox delivers with unmistakable grit. This vinyl pressing offers a solid gatefold package with improved sound clarity from the remastering, making it a neat pick for those who appreciate both historical context and audio detail in blues collections. The record grades VG+, indicating some minor surface marks and light scuffs typical of a well-loved disc but nothing that should overshadow the listening. If your shelves have a spot reserved for bold voices and stories that cut through, this reissue fits comfortably—and proves that wild women certainly don’t need a quiet corner.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
