Ma Rainey's"Shave'Em Dry" - a podcast by Kris Kosach & Go-To Productions

MA RAINEY, the Mother of the Blues, has been credited for coining the term "The Blues", the genre that Rock and Roll is based on. She was among the first women to ever record music, and some scholars even point to her style as having an influence on Hip Hop. 

Ma is also the subject of an award-winning 2020 film starring Viola Davis and Chadwick Bozeman in his final role. But before it all, Ma made music. On this episode, Kris plays for you one of her earliest hits, Shave 'Em Dry.
