For Your Grammy® Consideration
Ida Cox, the "Uncrowned Queen of the Blues, was a 1920s powerhouse who defied the era's norms. A prolific composer and savvy businesswoman, she wrote her own hits and recorded over 75 titles for Paramount Records, cementing her legacy as a foundational architect of the genre. Nearly a century later, Gina Coleman discovered a mirror of her own life in Ida's story.
"Uncrowned: A Tribute to Ida Cox" is a first full-length album dedicated entirely to Ida's catalog. It is a soulful bridge across generations, pairing Ida's pioneering lyrical artistry with Gina’s own musical sensibilities and blues stylings. More than a tribute, "Uncrowned" is a masterclass in the enduring power of the female blues songwriter.
‘Uncrowned: A Tribute To Ida Cox” is up for Grammy® nomination consideration in the following categories:
Best Traditional Blues Album
Best American Roots Song (Worried Mama Blues)
Best Engineered Album - Non Classical (Ronan Chris Murphy & Diego Mongue)
