The angels in this live performance recorded in 2007 at Chicago’s Taste Entertainment Center are truly the voices you will hear when real angels sing the Blues. Divas Shirley Johnson, Mary Lane and Liz Mandeville serve up a funky batch of uptempo and slow blues with an attitude, Chicago style.

Backed by keyboard player Johnny Drummer, known as a “storyteller under a groove,” and his soulful band The Starliters, these powerful blues women ease from rowdy and risqué, to sweet and soulful and everything in between, — an ensemble of award winning all-stars who could teach the heavenly host what the real Blues is all about. Johnny Drummer and his band also take vocal turns on five tracks.

The album also has several studio tracks with an equally stellar backing band of crack Chicago session players. One of the highlights is “Angel From Montgomery,” on which Shirley, Mary and Liz trade off lyrics, bringing a deep blues feel to this classic tune. 

Mary Lane also does her new tune on this album, “Red Light,” with a name drop to Buddy Guy and his Legend’s nightclub.

Blues with a feeling
That's what i have today
Blues with a feeling
Lord that's what i have today

I gotta find my baby
If it talkes me all night and day

I got blues at midnight
I got blues in the even too

I have blues at midnight
I have blues in the even too

I have thought all about you darling
Since the little girl you know i lost you
Mercy this morning

Love you early in the morning
I love you late at night
Something done got wrong with the mill
Tell her everything is all right

Blues with a feeling
Lord that's what i have today

I got to find my baby
If it takes me all night and day

Sometimes you do
Sometimes you will
I gotta find myself a grease can
To please plug the mill

Blues with a feeling
Lord that's what i got today

I got to find my baby
If it takes me all night and day
I got to find my woman you all

Can't sleep at night
I cannot through the day
I can't hold on much longer now
Living this way

Blues with a feeling
Ahh that's what i have today

I got to find my baby
If it takes me all night and day
