Most of the raunchy blues that get the most attention anymore are men - but the women, Gods they were all so great. Memphis Minnie, Dinah Washington, even Billie Holiday had a couple. Most of this stuff was for after-hours at the clubs. A lot of the songs were full of double entendré & tongue-in-cheek references, but some of them were just dirty, hee hee.
