Ida Cox (Feb.25,1896 -- Nov.10,1967) was an African American singer and vaudeville performer, best known for her blues performances and recordings. She was billed as "The Uncrowned Queen of the Blues" Cox was born in February, 1896 as Ida Prather in Toccoa, Habersham County, Georgia, United States (Toccoa was in Habersham County, not yet Stephens County at the time), the daughter of Lamax and Susie (Knight) Prather, and grew up in Cedartown, Georgia, singing in the local African Methodist Church choir. She left home to tour with traveling minstrel shows, often appearing in blackface into the 1910s; she married fellow minstrel performer Adler Cox. By 1920, she was appearing as a headline act at the 81 Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia; another headliner at that time was Jelly Roll Morton. After the success of Mamie Smith's pioneering 1920 recording of "Crazy Blues", record labels realized there was a demand for recordings of race music. The classic female blues era had begun, and would extend through the 1920s. From 1923 through to 1929, Cox made numerous recordings for Paramount Records, and headlined touring companies, sometimes billed as the "Sepia Mae West", continuing into the 1930s. During the 1920s, she also managed Ida Cox and Her Raisin' Cain Company, her own vaudeville troupe. At some point in her career, she played alongside Ibrahim Khalil, a Native American and one of the several jazz musicians of that era who belonged from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

Ida Cox, 'One Hour Mama', 1939 I've always heard that haste makes waste So I believe in takin' my time The highest mountain can't be raced It's something you must slowly climb I want a slow and easy man He needn't ever take the lead 'Cause I work on that long-time plan And I ain't a-lookin' for no speed I'm a one hour mama So no one minute papa Ain't the kind of man for me Set your alarm clock papa One hour, that's proper Then love me like I like to be I don't want no lame excuses 'Bout my lovin' bein' so good That you couldn't wait no longer Now I hope I'm understood I'm a one hour mama So no one minute papa Ain't the kind of man for me I can't stand no greenhorn lover Like a rookie goin' to war With a load of big artillery But don't know what it's for He's got to bring me a reference With a great long pedigree And must prove he's got endurance Or he don't mean that to me I don't like no crowin' rooster What just kicks a lick or two Action is the only booster Of just what my man can do I don't want no imitation My requirements ain't no joke 'Cause I've got pure indignation For a guy what's lost his stroke I'm a one hour mama So no one minute papa Ain't the kind of man for me Set your alarm clock papa One hour, that's proper Then love me like I like to be I may want love for one hour Then decide to make it two Takes an hour before I get started Maybe three 'fore I'm through I'm a one hour mama So no one minute papa Ain't the kind of man for me. + Informações

Buy this tune at: itunes.apple.com . Live recording (only full/better quality) ended up on "Delicious" released on Screen Door Records. Bonus video included on CD. In December our friend, harmonica player Billy Gibson came to NYC to do some gigs with Dave Fields. To mark the occasion, Erik invited some friends over for jamming in the living room with the video running. Billy and I did this old Ida Cox blues song (from 1924) that is one of my favorite songs. It's a bit of a mantra for me, "Wild Women Don't Have the Blues". Ida had it right in 1924. And it's still true today!. + Informações

Sunday, March 16, 2008 at the Scott Joplin House in St. Louis, Missouri. This was recorded as part of the Sue Keller seminar presentation on "Women and the Blues". The piece is a composition by Ida Cox from the early 20's titled, "Wild Women Don't Have The Blues". The presentation covered the following early blues women: Mamie Smith, Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Lucille Hegamin, Ida Cox, Alberta Hunter and their influences on Ella May Morse, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Patsy Cline, Marcia Ball, and Aretha Franklin.

Jeanne's in Singapore now but her version is track #4 on her Mean Man Blues album available on buy.com. Lyle Lovett also does a very nice version, but uses lyrics modified by Francine Reed.
