The Blues Is Life

“The Blues is life and life is the Blues. It covers from the first cry of a newborn to the last gasp of a dying man. It’s the very existence.” As Victoria Spivey indicates in this quote, she took the blues business very seriously, recording and performing the genre extensively throughout her career. A pioneering songwriter with classic blues standards like "Black Snake Blues" and "Dope Head Blues" under her belt, Victoria Spivey wrote thirteen original compositions for this album. Playful and astute, The Blues Is Life touches all kinds of topics, from “No Friends Blues” and “Slick Chick Blues” to “A Sausage Blues.”
