    If You Got A Heartache is the fifth track on Koko Taylor's 1981 blues album entitled From The Heart of a Woman. She let you know that when you've got a headache, a headache powder will ease the pain, but when you've got a heartache, there ain't nothing you can do.

    Koko Taylor was a singer whose style encompassed Chicago blues, electric blues, rhythm and blues and soul blues. Sometimes called "The Queen of the Blues", she was known for her rough, powerful vocals. Over the course of her career, she was nominated for 11 Grammy Awards, winning 1985's Best Traditional Blues Album for her appearance on Blues Explosion.

    Taylor became better known by touring in the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and she became accessible to a wider record-buying public when she signed a recording contract with Alligator Records in 1975. She recorded nine albums for Alligator, eight of which were nominated for Grammy awards, and came to dominate ranks of female blues singers, winning twenty-nine W. C. Handy/Blues Music Awards.

    Alberta Hunter-My Handy Man.. 7:11:24 6.54 PM

    Story by: Gail Nobles

    'Now whoever said a man was hard to find
    Positively absolutely sure was lying
    Cause I just found the best man that ever was
    And here's just a few things that he does
    He shakes my ashes
    Greases my grittle'

    Hello, I’m Gail Nobles. Welcome to Podcast and Blues. Today’s topic is Alberta Hunter.
    The words that you have heard me say from the beginning comes from Alberta’s track My Handyman Ain't Handy Man No More.

    She's singing about how her man takes care of her household chores and fixes things. He does everything for her, but the title of the song is saying that the man is not handy no more. So in the title it sounds as if Alberta is saying that he is no longer able to do all those things he has done. But in the song, there is no frustration or disappointment having someone to rely on. So she could also be saying that he's more to her than a handyman.

    Alberta Hunter was a jazz and blues singer and songwriter from the early 1920s to the late 1950s. After twenty years of working as a nurse, Hunter resumed her singing career in 1977. She lived to get 89 years old...
