At Last!
: essential recording:This is Etta James's first full-length album, recorded for Chess Records' Argo subsidiary in 1960. It taps all aspects of her then-blossoming talent. There's the crooning rock ballad 'My Dearest Darling' and the elegantly symphonic 'Sunday Kind of Love.' Her classic, brokenhearted 'All I Could Do Was Cry' follows the sweet title track and the bawdy blues stomper 'I Just Want to Make Love to You.' And there's a version of Harold Arlen's 'Stormy Weather,' which Lena Horne made famous. James's fine way with such a wide embrace of ...

Love Songs
: :She's no stranger to the towering highs and lows of the heart, and Etta James's soaring, gospel-tinged pipes match up well with the rigors of unabashed bliss. Happily, the good people at Chess Records recognize this, and they have thoughtfully collected some of the best examples into one tidy record. Kicking off with her classic treatment of 'At Last,' the collection moves through the lilting strings of 'My Dearest Darling' on into the expressive tones of 'I Want to Be Loved (But Only by You)' with grace and emotional candor.

Blues to the Bone
: :Californian Etta James decided against accepting filmmaker Martin Scorcese's personal invitation to sing at The Blues gala in New York in early 2003. The well-celebrated soul and blues queen makes amends here with what is one of the most blues-centered recordings in her expansive discography, bringing her big, no-nonsense voice and her feisty, proud woman's point of view to bear on classics, many identified with Chicago. The likes of Howlin' Wolf's 'Smokestack Lightnin',' Jimmy Reed's 'Hush Hush,' and Muddy Waters's 'Got My Mojo Working' may be hackneyed choices, but she seizes ...

The Essential Etta James
: :Etta James is the dues-paying blues mama.

And though her early R&B hits for Modern like 'Roll with Me Henry' are not here, just about everything else is: the supreme ...
