Bertha Lee recorded very little, which is a shame because she has one powerful blues voice. When she was young, Lee's family moved to Lula, Mississippi, where she would eventually meet <a href="spotify:artist:7aExFIr0IHWO5aFjMrGwKw">Charley Patton</a>. Their relationship began in 1930 and lasted until his death four years later. In that time, Lee sang accompanying vocals on twelve of <a href="spotify:artist:7aExFIr0IHWO5aFjMrGwKw">Patton</a>'s recordings -- blues and gospel -- from sessions in early 1934. It was at one of these that Lee cut three songs of her own: "Yellow Bee" (a <a href="spotify:artist:2WGyRLosdDgGJTLijIPpNC">Memphis Minnie</a> tune), the unissued "Dog Train Blues" and "Mind Reader Blues." ~ Joslyn Layne
