Etta James Blues To The Bone CD

 BluesEtta
What a voice! Etta’s first album of all blues tracks in a long time, perhaps ever. Even though the songs can be classified as blues standards, she’s made them sound fresh and new. Almost like they were written especially for her. It’s a small intimate band backing her. John “Juke” Logan on harp and Bobby Murray on guitar are the main soloists. But it’s the rhythm section that makes this sound so good. Etta’s sons Donto (Drums) and Sametto (Bass) provide a solid foundation. They’re not there because Mum’s the boss or nepotism. They’re there because they’re good. Donto provides the best drumming heard on a blues album for a long time.

 THIS CD IS OFF THE CHAIN
As usual, Etta James has put out another great CD. I especially love the second cut on the CD telling all these people to stop "mess" talking cuz if they start her to talking she's gonna tell everything she knows. I have been fortunate enough to have seen her peform over 10 times in the last three years. I recommend this CD to the real down home blues lovers. Thank you Etta for another fabulous CD.
