Tuff Lovers

Throughout history, countless women have made their mark on the blues and fought their way to the forefront in a largely male-dominated field, 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 influence. 
"Talking about the facts of life" is the central theme of this music.
Whether it's relationship problems, financial problems, 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 meant so much to the history of the Blues. The female blues at its peak!
