Amazon.com essential recording
Originally released in the late '70s, this studio session paired Etta James with the great Atlantic Records soul-music producer Jerry Wexler and dipped into an eclectic songbook that included Erma Franklin's "Piece of My Heart" as well as British songbird Kiki Dee's "Sugar on the Floor." James transformed the latter from treacle into a touching essay on heartache and loss. Even the Eagles' "Take It to the Limit" becomes a testimonial to the strength of human endurance under James's gospel-inspired command, which leads her to rework a phrase until every possible meaning becomes apparent. She takes this material to its artistic heights, showing the marks of a truly inspired performer. --Ted Drozdowski

DEEP August 26, 2008

Etta lets loose on this one. 'Only Women Bleed' and 'Blind Girl' really do something to me. But, this is a disc I can put on and just let it flow. Try it.
RAW & RIVETING VOCAL MASTERPIECE~BRAVO ETTA!!! July 5, 2007

From the opening funky note, any true lover of soul music knows this is going to be a great ride and then in comes the classic soulful voice of Etta James and it's pure magic..."Laying Beside You" is funky bliss then on to the definitive "Piece Of My Heart" then one wonders where were the Radio Programmers Of America when this masterpiece came out and The Grammy Foundation? Next is Alice Cooper's "Only Women Bleed" which is made into an athem by Ms. James as is her earthy and tremendous version of "Take It To The Limit" and does Etta ever...this performance goes deep inside of this great song turning it inside out like never before. Etta James draws from everywhere in selecting songs for this amazing collection and Broadway is represented here by a truly earthy and engrossing 4 A.M. version of "Deep In The Night" from "Inner City" showing that Etta can take songs from any area of music and make them her own. A hot and wildly funky arrangement of "Lovesick Blues" showcase a gritty vocal that has Etta flying into great falsetto rifts and it is a masterful performance...a gospel take on "Strange Man" features another awesome vocal while "Sugar On The Floor" is another riveting athem sung with so much feeling and soul that one is swept away...a sensual romp "Sweet Touch Of Love" has the legend groaning and growling in a way that only she can and the finale "Blind Girl" is a stellar performance that has got to be one of the greatest performances ever from this great singer and one of the greatest ever recorded by anyone...truly a riveting and tremendous performance to experience!!! Bravo Etta!!!

The ingredients that make this such a great CD are the powerful vocals of Etta James, a tight group of musicians, talented backing vocals, some great songs, and all under the masterful hand of Jerry Wexler. Etta has a controlled thunderous voice, powerful but never screeching or overreaching. She does a definitive version of Piece of My Heart. Sorry Janis, but this lady sings without the histrionics. The songs set the narrative for a woman dealing with despair, defiance, vunerability, and love. Only Women Bleed is a raw, uncomfortable and too personal experience. She takes us to church to testify with an electrifying choir on Strange man. Deep in the night takes us to that lonely experience at 3:00 in the morning thinking back on past loves. Blind Girl tells of that desperate attempt to ignore the truth and hang on to a cheating lover. Etta can wring such emotion from that roller coaster song of truth and illusion. I admit, Sugar on the Floor I do not really get. If I could choose just one Etta James CD, this would be it. She teamed up once more with Jerry Wexler for Right Time, but somehow the magic was not there.

I had this LP in the 70's and it was stolen from me during college in 1984. It turned me on to Etta, whose work is marvelous. I've had these tunes in my head for 14 years and am ecstatic that this great collection has been reissued on CD. "I would rather be a blind girl/than to see you walk away" --can't wait to get this CD!!!
