Los Angeles native Candye Kane is the 21st century version of Bessie Smith, singing a tough, smart, sassy, and showbiz-savvy blend of blues and soul that takes no prisoners of any persuasion. Kane has been a lot of things in her life, from a mother and serious student to a pinup girl and actress (both on-stage and in risque movies), and she even did a stint as a serious, full-tilt punk rocker. She’d be just another fringe player in L.A. except for one thing – she can sing like nobody’s business and she has a sexy, intelligent, and passionate musical vision to match her voice. On Sister Vagabond, her tenth album, Kane has really put it all together for her finest studio outing yet, mixing blues, torch soul, and funky swing numbers together into a smart and brassy whole, helped immeasurably by the brilliant guitar playing of longtime cohort Laura Chavez.

This is a collectable, limited edition collection of released and unreleased tracks spanning Blues diva Candye Kane's 20 year career. Songs from her earliest, out of print releases including "Homecookin'," "Knockout," and "Swango." Her songs of empowerment have inspired people around the globe. This is the the best collection to date of Candye's personal favorites from her impressive catalogue of ten albums. This collection was compiled for her stage play "The Toughest Girl Alive" which had its world premiere debut at the Moxie Theater in San Diego on January 15, 2011.
