All were electrically recorded and show her dramatic and creative singing style. Her songs interpretations were unique and we are treated and surprised by the multitude of her vocal effects. You almost feel like she is living the song as she sings it. No other singer sang like this. In 1939 she and Josh White, the black folk singer, became the first mixed-race male and female artists to ever perform together, record together and tour together. It was while on the road that Holman began to see firsthand the prejudice that blacks faced as White was denied permission to stay at the hotels at which they were Booked. They would continue performing off and on for the next six years During this period there is a greater intensity in her singing. This CD includes many of her songs successes and blues recordings made with Josh White in 1942.. All recordings were restored by Vintage Recordings. Several Items will have a symbol next to a song.
