This album is a wonderful work of conceptual music, located at a crossroads where shadows are illuminated. The blueswoman guitarist and singer Memphis Minnie recorded "When The Levee Breaks" in 1929, which we laymen knew through the rock band Led Zeppelin, a song that closed their fourth album. Candice Ivory has used the song to give name to her fourth recording and present twelve of the more than two hundred songs that Minnie recorded throughout her life. Probably if Ivory had made an album where she covered Memphis Minnie's songs with greater or lesser fidelity, the result could have been excellent, but " When The Levee Breaks" is not about that. Musical creativity rarely provides moments in which it transcends any attempt at perfection and genius solidity, to culminate a work that goes beyond the music itself and provides an unexpected and decontextualized vision of some compositions turned into pure magic. In this blues album, a soul singer sings the blues behind an instrumentation of omnipresent percussions, unpretentious guitars that become essential, creating a critically unsurpassable atmosphere. And also the voice of a singer not only impeccable but simply perfect. "When The Levee Breaks - The Songs Of Memphis Minnie" is a work of musical art, it's the blues when the candles never go out, it's a reference for the blues of the future.
