Product Details

Saffire built their following the old-fashioned way, playing small clubs and folk festivals through the late '80s and '90s, winning over audiences who recognized something real in their no-nonsense approach to a tradition stretching back to Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith. Ann Rabson, Gaye Adegbalola, and Andra Faye brought genuine instrumental chops and sharp, often wickedly funny songwriting to a genre that needed exactly that kind of fresh voice.

Saffire are the most popular acoustic blues act in the world, with a diverse following that includes devotees of classic blues, folk and women's music. All four of their previous releases are among Alligator Records' top 20 best-selling titles. Cleaning House features mostly original material, complete with Saffire's earthy sound and bawdy lyrical observations.
