9. "Ball and Chain (Live)" {Big Mama Thornton} - Lisa Mann's Northwestern All-Stars, Terrie Odabi - The Great Women in Blues (Feat. Terrie Odabi) [Live] [JayRay Records: 2025]
   Notes: Review – This is an outstanding live album, Terrie Odabi has such an incredible voice and Lisa has really put together a backing band for this voice. Band consists of Lisa Mann on Bass and Vocals, Jimi Bott on Drums, Louis Pain on Organ, Ben Rice on Guitar and Jason Thomas on Guitar, really great band. This album covers the great women of the Blues including Etta James, Dinah Washington, Mavis Stapeles, Rosetta Tharpe and others. Stand outs for me were “That’s All”, “Ball And chain” and “I’d Rather Go Blind”, but I think my favorite is “Let The Juke Joint Jump″
