Happy International Women’s Day!

Have you grabbed Turn It Up Loud: Revolutionary Women on 45 RPM yet?

If not, today is the perfect day to celebrate some of the incredible women who shaped the music we love.

The ebook tells the stories behind 100+ powerful songs recorded by women across blues, soul, rock, country and beyond with accompanying playlists for each chapter.

And this week only, anyone who buys the ebook also gets my Women Did It First playlist free with 25 songs originally recorded by women before they were covered or reworked by male artists.

If you love women in music and vinyl, I think you’ll enjoy it.

Wait… WHAT?

“Hound Dog” wasn’t originally Elvis.
“Tainted Love” wasn’t originally Soft Cell.
“Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” wasn’t originally The Animals.

Women recorded them first. And for International Women’s Day, I put together 25 songs that prove it in a playlist called Women Did It First.

💐 Free with my book this week
🎧 $5 standalone playlist

What songs were you shocked to learn were done by women first?

Big Mama Thornton before Elvis. Gloria Jones before Soft Cell. Maxine Brown before Rod Stewart…

Music history often credits the loudest voice in the room, but when you dig a little deeper, you start to notice something else.

I just released a new curated playlist called Women Did It First in celebration of International Women’s Day. It’s 25 songs originally recorded by women (before they were done by men).

🎙️Free with purchases of the Turn It Up Loud ebook through March 9 (or available as a $5 standalone playlist)

When we talk about “rock history,” we usually start in the wrong places.

Long before the legends most people name, Black women were defining distortion, harmony, stage power, protest music, and the very idea of rock frontmanship.

Rock & soul didn’t just “include” Black women.
They were built by them. Some got credit but many didn’t.

Swipe through and tell me which name you didn’t learn growing up. And who should I include next time?
