Women Be Wise


This year I’m going to be a wise woman and say what I want. I’m telling y’all what to send me for Christmas cause I want to make it easy on everybody.  So hurry Santa, here’s my list, along with the song that made me want the CD:

Raul Malo, Today, “Let’s Not Say Goodbye Anymore”
Lavelle White, Miss Lavelle, “Tin Pan Alley”
Glenn Campbell, See You There, many songs including “Galveston”
Beulah (Sippie) Wallace,  Blues Legend, “Women Be Wise”

Check out Sippie’s version of “Women Be Wise” and compare it to Bonnie’s cover.  Bonnie Raitt produced Sippie’s album, Sippie.  (I’m smart like that because I listen to KDRP out of Dripping Springs, Texas.) I was still in college when Sippie died so I never got to see her sing live.

I just saw Lavelle sit in with the Resentments this summer at the Saxon Pub.  Correction, she did not sit even though Plank offered her a chair.  She wanted to stand and strut.

Now women be wise/
Keep your mouth shut/
Don't advertise your man

Sippie Wallace, "Women Be Wise"
