vocalist.”

Rabson’s smoky voice and razor-sharp piano and guitar
work.”
Michael
Cote, Blue Revue
“Ann Rabson is
an outstanding piano player...her vocals are powerful yet very
pleasing and her choice of material is poignant. Ann has the

shines…”

“Ann Rabson is
no ordinary grandmother. A rollicking boogie-woogie pianist, a
respected Piedmont guitarist, a talented song writer, a superb
singer, and cofounder of Saffire the Uppity Blues Women, Rabson was
cast in the same mold as blues divas such as Bessie Smith and
Memphis Minnie.”
Les
Coles, Daily Yamuri
“With her husky, sultry voice and her
love of the boogie piano, Ann Rabson brings her intimate bluesy
songs to the listener in an utterly accessible
way.”

Griffen, Town Talk
“Ann Rabson In a Family
Way. What a
voice! This is no ordinary grandmother. I would love to have her as
mine. The piano is fantastic in this CD. Ann’s voice is deep and
rich, and you can feel emotion in her as you hear the music. Ann
Rabson is truly a blues entertainer in a class all her
own."
Janet
Wood for Blogcritics
“Rabson rivals Big Mama Thornton and
the other big ol’ gals of blues-raunch. Few of them can match
Rabson’s fire on vocals and blues-boogie piano. Pinetop Perkins
would be proud of Rabson.”
