Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, is proud to announce the release of Bessie (Music from the HBO Film). The biographic film Bessie, starring Queen Latifah as blues legend Bessie Smith.

An evocative collection combining historic and contemporary recordings, Bessie (Music from the HBO Film) debuts seven new Queen Latifah performances including "Young Woman Blues," "Preachin' The Blues," "Long Old Road," "Down Hearted Blues," "Work House Blues," "Weepin' Woman Blues" (a duet with vocalist Pat Bass) and "Gimme A Pigfoot and A Bottle Of Beer (2015 Remix).Ôǣ

Bessie (Music from the HBO Film) premieres "Gimme A Pigfoot and A Bottle Of Beer (2015 Remix)," a postmodern reworking of Bessie Smith's original recording featuring newly recorded vocals, ad-libs and raucous banter by Queen Latifah set to enhanced instrumentation remixed and produced by Adam Blackstone and Queen Latifah. "Gimme A Pigfoot and A Bottle Of Beer (2015 Remix)" is a dream collaboration between the Empress of the Blues and Queen Latifah that exemplifies the brilliance of each of the artists while celebrating the musical soul that unites their eras and generations.

ÔǣThis is a project that has been close to my heart for many yearsÔǪ.to not only star as Bessie Smith but to also produce the film and the soundtrack is a dream for me.?á Recording this music was an incredible journey and I am proud to be a part of it all.ÔÇØ - Queen Latifah
