“Lauren Mitchell is a wonderfully talented and deeply soulful blues vocalist. She sings with the necessary power, control, finesse, and fullness of sound found in all of the great blues vocalists from Ma Rainey to Bessie Smith to Koko Taylor and Etta James. Lauren’s exciting performances leave no doubt that she is a serious student of the history of the music and has secured her place as one of most important blues artists working today."
