Description
A Bad Woman Feeling Good: Blues and the Women Who Sing ThemAn exciting lineage of women singers originating with Ma Rainey and her prot g e Bessie Smith shaped the blues, launching it as a powerful, expressive vehicle of emotional liberation. Along with their successors Billie Holiday, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, and Janis Joplin, they injected a dose of reality into the often trivial world of popular song, bringing their message of higher expectations and broader horizons to their audiences.
An exciting lineage of women singers--originating with Ma Rainey and her prot g e Bessie Smith--shaped the blues, launching it as a powerful, expressive vehicle of emotional liberation. Along with their successors Billie Holiday, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, and Janis Joplin, they injected a dose of reality into the often trivial world of popular song, bringing their message of higher expectations and broader horizons to their audiences. These women passed their image, their rhythms, and their toughness on to the next generation of blues women, which has its contemporary incarnation in singers like Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams (with whom the author has done an in-depth interview). Buzzy Jackson combines biography, an appreciation of music, and a sweeping view of American history to illuminate the pivotal role of blues women in a powerful musical tradition. Musician Thomas Dorsey said, "The blues is a good woman feeling bad." But these women show by their style that he had it backward: The blues is a bad woman feeling good.Binding Type: Paperback

Missing Dividers
Color: Black, Size: 9.4*4.1*5IN
Disappointed it was missing the adjustable dividers.
Not great to hold dishwashing brushes. They slip right threw the side.

Sturdy. Built to last. It solves all the problems my old organizer had. Very satisfied.
Review for ARTLEO Kitchen Sink Caddy with Super Water Absorbent Diatomite Stone Sink Tray, Fast Drying Sink Organizer with High Dish Brush Holder Sponge Holder for Kitchen Sink, Stainless Steel
This appears to be a sturdy organizer of stainless steel painted with a good amount of black protective paint. I ordered it to replace an inferior organizer of the same material (made by a different company altogether).
This one solves the problems I had with my previous organizer which had begun to rust and break apart after six months of use.
The narrow steel bars on the bottom shelf of this new organizer are supported by wider steel flats in the frame that will prevent them from breaking off the frame. (My old organizer bars broke because they were barely welded onto the frame and the repeated "pushing down" of my soap pump-bottle eventually broke them apart from the frame).
The pads that prevent it from sliding across my counter in big waves (we live and travel on a boat) are secured around the steel legs as opposed to just being glued onto the bottom (like the pads of my previous organizer were, which fell off). There is no metal hanging over onto the sink edge to cause rust (like the metal that had caused rust with my old organizer.)
The dish-brush holder can fit on the inside of the frame or it can hang on the outside of the organizer, which is nice because it makes more room if you have many tools that you like to use at the sink. And it can be compact if you don't. Be cautious not to remove the hanging part (dish-brush holder) too often because repeated wear can cause the paint to rub off and it could begin to rust.
The "Water Absorbent Diatomite Stone" is new to me but it seems to be working just fine. I assume I will have to clean out the ridges of it as gunk forms there, but that would be the case with any sink organizer tray.
I am very satisfied with this organizer, it is robust and it solves all the problems I had with my previous one.
The price is on the higher side of similar organizers, currently priced at $23.99.
All the best,
Mrs. dr

Terrific Buy!
Color: Brown, Size: 13"D x 23.7"W x 32.7"H
I couldn't be happier with our new very handy piece of furniture. The tea/bar cart (I chose classic brown with the black iron) looks like a much more expensive purchase than it is. It's well-designed, well-made, and very easy to assemble, even for me: all of the holes, screws, bolts, etc., align perfectly for a level, sturdy, squared, and pleasing cart that can serve a multitude of purposes, depending on your household's needs.
I just bought a second. They really are just that versatile and good-looking, and they require little space.

No complaints
Color: Brown, Size: 13"D x 23.7"W x 32.7"H
This is a great bar cart. The shelves hold up with a bunch of bottles on it. To be fair, we do not wheel it around. It just stays in one spot.
