Bitter Sweet Blues

The album was produced by Rory Block, who also played slide guitar. "Prove It on Me Blues" is a version of the Ma Rainey song. "Images" is a cover of the Nina Simone song. "Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl" is a rendition of the song made famous by Bessie Smith. "Nightmare" deals with child molestation. "Nothing's Changed", cowritten by Block, examines the legacy of the civil rights movement. "Front Door Blues" is about an attempt to come out of the closet. Ysaye Barnwell sings on "Let Go, Let God". ==Critical reception==

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette deemed the album "emotional and heartfelt," writing that "Adegbalola combines her personal and musical life story into an adventurous and enjoyable package." The Washington Post opined that "even if one agrees with her progressive politics, one might still wince at her heavy-handed approach." AllMusic concluded that "each song has either humor or power, sometimes both... The only thing that seems incongruous is the mixture of songs with wildly varying moods and topics." ==Track listing==
