Performer: Etta James
Artist: Cedar Walton; Eddie Harris Producer: Leonard & Phil Chess; Barry Feldman (Compilation)... Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Personnel: Etta James; Eddie Harris (saxophone); Cedar Walton (piano); Paul Humphrey (drums). Not to be confused with MCA's 2001 collection of the same title, this 15-song RCA Victor set was released in 2006. Interestingly, the compilation focuses on James's contemporary recordings (as opposed to her more celebrated material from the 1960's) and leans heavily on her readings of old standbys from the Great American Songbook. James's blues- and gospel-drenched voice still sounds great, though, and she shows she's as capable of handling jazz gems like "Body and Soul" and "My Funny Valentine" as she is R&B faves like "Try A Little Tenderness."
Though Californian belter Etta James is widely known as one of the greatest blues singers, famed for her '60s Chess recordings and '70s Muscle Shoals work, her story is bigger than that. She started out with the Johnny Otis band in the '50s as a hard-edged R&B singer of the kind whose records would've been called rock & roll if made by a white singer. The tireless James never stopped working, and by the '90s, she'd covered everything from jazz standards to Steppenwolf and CCR.
