As a young girl, Brooklyn native Alexis P. Suter says she listened almost exclusively to gospel music. That is, until a chance meeting with the Mills Brothers at age 9 opened up a new musical world for her. She says from there she sang in school choirs and eventually found her way as a vocalist for House and Dance music in the early 1990's. Today she's the leader of the band that bears her name, and has opened for some of the bigger names in blues music. Her latest album is "Love The Way You Roll."
On this Talkin' Blues excerpt, Suter talks to GLT's Jon Norton about one of those "bigger names" that became a mentor, and how the band approached the recording of their album.
