Here comes a book totally devoted to the great work that 365 women have done and do in blues music.

You can read 3 quotes specially written for the back cover:

“This reference should be on the bookshelf of any serious blues aficionado. While 2013 Keeping the Blues Alive Award recipient Vicente Zúmel has now penned thousands of blues album reviews in total, these reviews of recordings by modern blues women will give blues lovers another reason to listen to that CD from your collection or else purchase it anew. Kudo’s to Vicente Zúmel for recognizing the value of the women of the blues with a special book of reviews that casts a light on their unique contributions to the genre.”

Barbara Newman, President and CEO of The Blues Foundation.

“With his book, Vicente Zúmel has given us a deeper look into the musical stylings of some of the finest female singers. Through his reviews of their respective recordings, we are offered a critical insight into the unique individual styles of these dynamic female artists”

Billy Branch, blues harmonica player and singer from Chicago

“The first book from the man known worldwide as Spain’s premier blues radio programmer and one of Europe’s most respected blues journalists. A treasure trove for anyone interested in today’s blues”.

Bruce Iglauer, President and Founder, Alligator Records, Chicago USA.
