Synopsis

Album Description
The trio's new Alligator CD, Havin' The Last Word, will be their final declaration together as Saffire-The Uppity Blues Women; the group has decided it's time to move on so they can pursue their own individual interests. But pianist/guitarist/vocalist Rabson, guitarist/harmonicist/vocalist Adegbalola and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Faye have plenty to say with Havin' The Last Word. From the uplifting opening track "Going Down To The River" to the saucy ode to aging, "Growing Older," to the salacious "Bald Eagle" (Gaye's hilarious follow up to fan favorite "Silver Beaver") to the heartbreaking "Blue Lullaby," Havin' The Last Word is a showcase for the band's stellar musicianship (including Gaye's slide guitar solo debut on "Bald Eagle"), razor-sharp wit and provocative songwriting. As their fans have come to expect, the CD also features terrific vocals, rollicking piano, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass and harmonica.Saffire-The Uppity Blues Women will tour together for the last time in 2009, to say goodbye to their fans. The new CD may be called Havin' The Last Word, but you haven't heard the last of Ann, Gaye and Andra; these three are far from hanging up their instruments, and each will continue to perform.With Havin' The Last Word, Saffire's positive message of strength, joy, love and sisterhood through music will continue to reach all corners of the music loving world. And that's saying a lot.

Saffire Ladies
Donna Sheffield | Austin, TX | 04/20/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wow, love this CD! These women have a lot of sass & spice, great bluesy tunes. Each one of them has their own style and sound and overall are just fun. We listened to it on a long road trip, made the trip go by fast! If you love the blues, I recommend this one."

"Saffire is the sassiest blues women around, a must for every blues lover! It's a shame they're retiring. I've seen them twice, catch them if you can on their farwell tour!"

"Fantastic and fun as usual - the only thing wrong with this CD is that it is their LAST one!"
