"I Believe (Everything Gonna Be Alright)"

Attn blues afficionados, this gal is the real article.

Stumbled across this splendid blues diva yesterday. She never broke through, but has a rightful claim to the Blues Royalty. Here is a bit from Wiki:

"Thornetta Davis (born August 11, 1963) is an American Detroit blues and rhythm and blues singer. She has opened for Bonnie Raitt, Gladys Knight, and Etta James, and sang backing vocals on Bob Seger's 1991 album, The Fire Inside. She also worked with Kid Rock and Alberta Adams, and has released two full-length solo albums."

Make that three- she made a couple great records on Sub Pop in the 90s, then last October 2016 she put a great blues record "Honest Woman" on Sweet Mama label.

When I lived in Detroit I used to see her all the time in small blues cubs. She is REALLY good so if you ever get the opportunity to see her, take it. She has some pipes!

TTB needs to put on tour with them. She is every bit as good as Sharon Jones.
