Hi all,

I found a wonderful blues on a 2006 CD titled Midnite Blues Party 
vol. 2 - billed to Sister Rockaway with I.H. Smiley and his 
Rockateers, titled Young Woman's Advice - the track apparently taken 
directly from shellac.  Now this lady has a great, apparently 
gospel-influenced delivery and the band does a good job - which makes 
me think that both are pseudonyms for artists who'd done more.

Anyone who knows who these Sister Rockaway and I.H. Smiley are?  Or 
some more information on them?  Apart from that one track on that CD 
that is in the collection of about every on-line music service, 
nothing pops up on Google.

Thanks,

Koen
