Throughout history, countless women have left their mark on the blues, fighting their way to the forefront of a largely male-dominated scene, often with little recognition.These women paved the way for so many musicians, and the blues would not be what it is today without their influences. "Talking about the facts of life" is the central theme of this music. Whether it's relationship problems, financial issues or discrimination, from Bessie Smith through Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Nina Simone, Etta James, Koko Taylor and Janis Joplin, to more recent Blues Women like Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi, these women tell the real story and give advice. The Tuff Lovers pay tribute to these great ladies who have played such an important part in the history of the Blues. Female blues at its best!...

Tout au long de l'histoire, d'innombrables femmes ont marqué le blues et se sont battues pour se frayer un chemin vers le devant de la scène, dans un milieu largement dominé par la gent masculine, avec souvent peu de reconnaissance.Ces femmes ont ouvert la voie à tant de musiciens, et le blues ne serait pas ce qu'il est aujourd'hui sans leurs influences. "Talking about the facts of life" est le thème central de cette musique. Qu'il s'agisse de problèmes relationnels, de problèmes financiers ou de discrimination, de Bessie Smith en passant par Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Nina Simone, Etta James, Koko Taylor et Janis Joplin, jusqu'aux Blues Women plus récentes, comme Bonnie Raitt et Susan Tedeschi, ces femmes racontent la vraie vie et donnent des conseils. Les Tuff Lovers rendent hommage à ces grandes dames qui ont tant compté dans l'histoire du Blues. Le blues féminin à son apogée !
