Archive material and source history
Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women formed in Minneapolis in 1984, bringing together Gaye Adegbalola, Ann Rabson, and Vicki Randle. They weren't trying to fit into the existing blues scene so much as make their own space in it, with songs that spoke plainly about women's lives and experiences. Their debut album 'Ain't Nobody's Business' came out in 1990, featuring the title track that became something of an anthem for them.
They faced the predictable skepticism that greeted women playing blues in the 1980s and 1990s, but kept at it with a mix of humor and directness in their material. Ann Rabson played bass until 2002, when Andra Faye McIntosh joined the group. Vicki Randle remained on drums until 2010. The trio released albums like 'Hot Flash' in 1994 and 'Blue Lightning' in 1998, working in a style that drew from traditional blues but felt contemporary in its concerns.
