Details: Amazon.ca Whether she sings string-laden pop ballads, lively soul, or gritty electric blues, James's high-powered, enormously expressive voice displays a knack for passionate blues inflections. Emotionally charged ballads including "At Last" and "All I Could Do is Cry" find James blasting through the orchestra with unearthly wails and moans. "If I Can't Have You", a duet with Harvey Fuqua, drops the orchestra in favour of horn-driven R&B and "Something's Got a Hold On Me" is a gospel-flavoured romp reminiscent of Ray Charles. A live version of Jimmy Reed's "Baby, What You Want Me to Do" shows her raunchiest Chicago-blues style, and "In the Basement", with Sugar Pie DeSanto, is a funky workout. Also here are three classics from her soul-drenched 1967 Muscle Shoals sessions. --Marc Greilsamer Product Description This album features all of Etta's greatest hits - the sides and recordings that put her in the Hall of Fame. Including classic songs such as "At Last," "Tell Mama," "Something's Got a Hold on Me," "Fool That I Am" and "I'd Rather Go Blind," this collection is a fabulous tribute to one of the most legendary Chess Artists. Features digital remastering and great liner notes and graphics.
