Customer Review: I have always been a fan of Etta James but this has got to be one of the best CDs I've ever purchased. Many CDs have a few great songs and then some you'd just as soon skip over. Not so on this one ! Each and every one is the Lady at her best. Definitely a great one !
Customer Review: Just because a recording is remastered, that doesn't mean it's been remastered well. Columbia's remastering of these Billie Holiday recording is a case in point.

Roland Kirk never played a note of "smooth jazz" in his life. His "We Free Kings" is about the wildest rendition of a... more info
Customer Review: This cd is perfect if you are looking for some jazzy sexy blues. Her voice gives me goosebumps! It will make anyone an instant Etta James fan.
Customer Review: It is with great sadness the I write this review tonight. Been listening to Odetta all day and this is the album that really touches my heart. As as old as it is, it's still very topical especially with todays economic situation. It's also got some rather raunchy lyrics if you listen carefuly. Fare... more info
