"I get full of good liquor, walk the streets all night/ Go home and put my man out if he don't act right," sings Cyndi Lauper, sounding perfectly enchanted by the prospect, on this album's last track, Wild Women Don't Get the Blues. It's a satisfying conclusion to a record that answers a question nobody was actually asking – Can Lauper carry off an LP of blues cover version? – with a definitive "yes". Though her voice is thin and lacking in bluesy grit and sinew – this is especially evident as she alternates lines with feline, growling guest Ann Peebles on Rollin' and Tumblin' – she gets inside the songs, and that makes the album work. Holding her own alongside players of the first magnitude (Allen Toussaint, BB King), she's cheeky on Louis Jordan's bawdy Early in the Morning and slinky as she does a deal with the devil on Crossroads. Worth hearing.
