Description: Purists might not acknowledge Aretha as a blues singer, but so what? Even if The Delta Meets Detroit is at heart another way of raiding the Queen of Soul's catalog for niche-market sales, it's a convincer. Drawn from her Atlantic albums of the '60s and early '70s, these 16 tracks belong next to the work of Dinah Washington, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and the rest of the great urban blueswomen and -men. Even the songs Aretha borrows from others' repertoires ("Night Life," "Drown in My Own Tears") become her property: just listen to how "The Thrill Is Gone" here becomes a meditation on the phrase "free at last." --Rickey Wright

Reviews:

Needs to have a sixth star

I have nearly a dozen Aretha albums and this is my favorite. The opening cut is enough to buy the album on its own. To add the other 15 tracks is a bonus. I have most of the albums from which the tracks were taken but this is a must have for an Aretha fan. This is the most passionate blues album I have heard. As humans we must feel for Aretha and her many heartaches. As fans, we must thank her struggles because they have produced one of the greatest female singers in history.

night time is the right time...and the day...and noon...etc.

...see,...yall can call this the blues if you want to, but in truth this is soul music delivered unto us by the best female vocalist to have ever...uh...vocalled.
fa'real, now, you can feel her spirit just aswingin back and forth between her filthy pains and dirty lusts...it hits you dead smack in the middle of your chest, sinks in, settles, rattles, vibrates and hums. the love and hurt felt here picks me up by my ankles and swings all 275 pounds of me around and around until i give in and feel it! this is some good stuff...just get it! if you love aretha and like the blues or soul music...then this wont dissappoint, promise.

SIMPLY AMAZING!!

This album is INCREDIBLE! Every song is flawless and electrifying. A classic for sure, and a must-have for ANY music collection!
