Here's the notes about this CD concerning Wild Women:

Along with Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey, Ida Cox, who wrote Wild Women, was one
of the top female blues performers of the 1920's, and the only one of the bunch
to write most of her own material, produce her own stage shows, and manage her
own touring company.  She was also known to have recorded using a variety of
pseudonyms including Kate Lewis, Velma Bradley, Julia Powers.
