Born in the wilds of East Los Angeles, Candye found herself with a child at age 18, and, needing to find a way to support herself, she took a look in the mirror and realized the good Lord had graced her with assets a plenty. Topless dancing and magazine pictorials kept the wolf from the door until she discovered her even greater talent, a voice for singing the blues. After an attempt with Epic in the 1980's, she focused her abilities and passion into smaller blues labels, releasing Home Cookin' (Antones) in 1994. With such material as her signature "She Wore A Red Carnation" and "Why You Have To Say That ‘L’ Word?", she began gathering in fans left and right with her upfront sexuality and outspoken opinions. Three releases followed including 1995's Knock Out and 1997's Diva La Grande. Her 2000 release, The Toughest Girl Alive is aptly named; her attitude of personal pride -- no matter how big you are, or how lowdown you feel -- puts her at odds with the typical "I Lost My Man, So Now I'm A Victim" blues role for women. She has taken what once was an art form dedicated to loss and regret and made it roar -- with passion, power and self-respect. Oh yeah – and she ain’t too hard on the eyes, either.     Candye Kane You Need A Great Big Woman MP3 Blues Not since Janis Joplin has a woman made the blues so real, raw and … thank god - raunchy!
