Etta James – Stormy Monday & Other Favorites (CD)
Product Details
Etta James recorded her first single at 17 and spent the next six decades proving she could outshine anyone in any room. Her voice carried equal weight in a juke joint or a concert hall, and her command of blues phrasing came from deep study of the tradition, not imitation of it. Hearing her work through the Walker, King, and Redding songbook is a reminder of how completely she owned whatever she touched.
One of America's greatest blues and R&B singers of all time - four time Grammy Award winner and Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame vocalist Etta James holds the distinction of influencing multiple genres of music including Soul, R&B, Rock N' Roll, Blues, Gospel and Jazz. The compilation presented here features the great Ms. James singing some of the greatest blues and R&B hits ever penned including T-Bone Walker's "Stormy Monday," B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby" and Otis Redding's "Can't Turn You Lose." All selections newly remastered.
