 Etta James Is In The House- The Early Days December 10, 2009
Alfred Johnson (boston, ma)
The name Etta James is no stranger to this space. Whether it is in reference to the classic Chicago blues label Chess Records, Chicago blues as a genre, or just Etta rockin' the house I have found time to place her in that rather small (unfortunately) number of great modern female blues singers. That said, this CD has plenty of that, but also showcases her other talents. Although this album started life as a Chess production (of some sort) there are ballads and other old time tunes here to show that in her prime there was nothing Etta couldn't cover with gusto. Some of it like "Trust In Me" is just a little too sweet for me. I called it "bubblegum" music in the old days. But compare that to her covers of famous classic Lena Horne "Stormy Weather" or "Sunday Kind of Love" and you have an approximation of what the songs were that we listened to when thoughts of love were first bubbling up around 1960. And easy music to ask a girl or guy to slow dance too. Ah, well.

Spectacular! May 5, 2009

This is classic Etta James with such songs as At Last, If I Can't Have You and Stormy Weather. I love the "Best of" CD's like this one because every song is a gem and this is no exception. Her voice is powerful and raw and will reach right into your soul. This is a great album to listen to on the iPod while taking a walk on a Sunday afternoon or to listen to on the stereo at home over a romantic Saturday night dinner. The nice thing is that these old songs have been all remastered and sound sooo much better than they did when they were on old 78's or 45's. Listening to this now, it could have been recorded last week.
I had forgotten about some of these songs but this brings them back and I remember why I loved them in the first place. Even if this music is new to you, if you love artists like Whitney Houston or Glady's Night, I think you'll like this one. For me, it will provide many hours of pleasure. Two thumbs up for this collection!

Good music but rather poor production quality. This should be remastered and re-released to allow Etta's music to shine as it should, can and does on her newer works.
