she continued singing in a semi-professional vein, whilst working full-time as a nurse. she developed her stage act to include a risque repertoire which was ripe with innuendo. her better known songs included "big long sliding thing," "one drop will do you," and "pump up your love". hall's live work came to the attention of ichiban records and, in 1995, they released her debut solo album, "showin' off". the same year she appeared at the sarasota blues fest. hall continued to work largely around atlanta, but her recording exposure led her on tours in europe, which included her performing at the montreux jazz festival. her second album, "one drop will do you", was issued in 1997. the allmusic journalist, alex henderson, noted that "one drop will do you" "isn't an innovative or groundbreaking album, but it's certainly a very satisfying and inspired one".
