Francine Reed: "Wild Women Don't Get The Blues" with Lyle Lovett's Large Band
"Absolutely love Francine Reed, have been so fortunate to be able to see her play at a night club in Phx. Az every weekend for a few years in the 1980s. She had Prince Shell on the piano a true virtuoso and musician friends from all over stopping in to join her". — @aleksandraalexander4506
FRANCINE REED: No Time For The Blues
Francine Reed is an American blues singer, solo artist, and regular singing partner of Lyle Lovett since the 1980s and member of Lovett's Large Band. Reed has also recorded duets with Willie Nelson and Delbert McClinton and others.
In Phoenix, Arizona, Francine Reed appeared with Miles Davis, Stanley Jordan, Smokey Robinson, Etta James, and The Crusaders. In 1985, she began recording and touring with Lyle Lovett and His Large Band. Reed has also appeared on recordings by Delbert McClinton, Willie Nelson and Roy Orbison.
