Aretha Sings the Blues is a compilation album of previously released Aretha Franklin recordings from Aretha's early 1960s tenure with Columbia Records.[1]
Reception[edit]
Armond White of Spin wrote, "Aretha had established a tradition that, as a revolutionary, she would naturally have to evolve away from (ask Bob Dylan). Aretha Sings the Blues shows Aretha's pregreatness style, wavering between Mahalia Jackson's command and Nancy Wilson's piquancy."[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
