Is this a pseudonym for Memphis Slim? Does anyone here know who is Christine Chatman, no listing could I find listed in my Brian Rust discographies. Is she a real person maybe of the family of Memphis Slim and Sam Chatman, The Mississippi Sheiks, Bo Carter,etc.? Who is in her excellent orchestra line-up?
