If you're interested in feminist blues, try some Rory Block. One song that comes to mind is "God's Gift to Women", a concert favorite. I don't know what album it's on (or even if she's recorded it). It's sung a cappela with handclaps and much (especially female) audience participation. BTW, those of you in the Boston area may be interested in the Festival of Women in Music, two evenings of concerts in the Arlington Town Hall featuring Rory, Mimi Farina, Nanci Griffith, Priscilla Herdman, Kim Wallach, Odetta, Lui Collins, Cindy Kallet, Cindy Mangsen, and Gail Rundlett. They will be January 25-26; for more information you can contact Folktree Concerts in Arlington (I don't have the number with me - try information; or better yet, Wood&Strings Music on Mass Ave. can tell you what you need to know. I've attended several Folktree concerts - they're always a good show (well, Bill Fahey was drunk - he had some humorous if unmusical moments). Mike Ryan
