Although some seem cold, they really are not. They are survivor songs, honest songs, that have a different twist to them. Without the Lower Band who back Dr. John, I would not have been able to do this project. I followed the band out to Seattle to get this project started.

David Barard helped write two of the songs. Herman Ernest on the drums is a genius. John Fohl picked up and translated my emotions into perfect rhythms, and David Barard was solid, soulful, and funky on the bass as always.

Jeremy Ryan, a local keyboard player, helped out beautifully. I came back to Michigan with a basic track and rough vocals. David Barard and Cosssetta Taylor, my niece and daughter of Al Perkins, provided great background vocals. Gene brought in a drummer and a fantastic saxophone player, Mark Kieme, to complete my tracks. I hope you like this collection. Hardcover: pages. Publisher: BookBaby September 16, Language: English.

Annie Mae's Boys and Me Annie Mae spent all of her life in Mississippi in Brookhaven , Yazoo City and Eden until she finally found her way to the Mississippi Delta where she raised three of her children, having allowed the oldest son to live with her mother in Eden. Upon reaching adulthood, he finally joined the rest of the family in Leland, Mississippi. Annie Mae only achieved an eighth grade education, but she became convinced early on that the only way to have a decent life was to get an education and work hard.

And work hard she did, primarily doing cleaning in homes in Leland, washing dishes at the Leland Cafe and finally finding work as a maid at the Montgomery Hotel In Leland. When she worked there, Blacks were not allowed to stay at the Montgomery Hotel.

It is ironic that today, that hotel has become the Highway 61 Blues Museum housing pictures and artifacts of her son,James "Son" Thomas, a renowned Delta Blues Artist and sculptor. Perhaps her most profound influence was on her daughter who achieved the educational goals her mother encouraged, and made her mother proud by singing in the church, attending college and eventually teaching in Leland where she had attended elementary and high school.

The daughter describes her mother's desire to know every detail of her encounters with others and how she loved to hear positive things that others had said to her.

Their arrangement was that if the daughter did well in school and remained a "good girl", Annie Mae would see that the daughter never had to take "low stoops" to get what she wanted. Annie Mae said she would provide whatever her daughter needed--and she did. Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing. Item specifics. Used: An item that has been used previously.
