Through this rare book about women in blues, the reader encounters many of the talented ladies Jennifer has met on her photographic journey – from Irma Thomas to Ivy Ford – illuminated with wonderfully informative dialogue from the artists themselves to complement her photos. This is not just another coffee table book: it is a must read for all blues aficionados!” –Blues Matters Magazine “Jennifer Noble’s photographs make you fall in love with these Blues Women. She captures the essence of their soul. I have fallen in love with them as well and was so inspired that I started Women of the Blues Foundation. Thank you, Jennifer Noble for bringing me into a world of extraordinary women.” – Lynn Orman Weiss, Founder Women of the Blues Foundation and Women of the Blues Records.
