 Robert Christgau: CG: Helen Humes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
White kids may have identified with ghetto fls out of the most abject simplemindedness, but they got candor (randb) or spiritual intensity (doowop) in the bargain.
The adult nightclubbers for whom a jazz-blues stylist like Humes performed, on the other hand, related to the subtle twists of emotion implied by her intricate vocal inventions only because such intricacy takes for granted the protective veneer of culture, which is sophistication's bottom line.
The hidden message of Humes's music is a ruling-class myth: that the most horrible suffering (catch the lyric of "Good for Nothin' Joe") is of manageable consequence.
