Great For Starters, But Better Choices Are Out There

I've always looked at "greatest hits" albums as "starter" albums.

A great way to sample the artists work, then decide whether you want to further explore (ie purchase)more from their body of work. This collection from Etta James serves the above premise to some degree. Although it is somewhat short in length (a trait common to all the 20th Century Masters releases) and doesn't contain some of her better "blues" work, it is decent way to sample Etta James's music; especially for someone on a budget. However, if you can afford a few extra bucks, I would highly recommend the "Her Best : The Chess 50th Anniversary Collection" ablum over this one. For a few extra bucks, you get 9 more tracks, better sound and better packaging. But for less than 5 bucks on zShops, this is not a bad purchase.

Love it! Love It! Love It!

Etta is my favorite Lady Of Blues by far. I bought this cd for the song,"At Last," but my favorite is, "Trust In Me." It WILL be played at my wedding.

She is amazing. Order this cd now!

WAIT! WAIT! STOP THE WEDDING!

After hating Etta's "Seven Year Itch," album, a friend gave me a copy of this CD for my birthday. I listened to it several times all the way through and was won over. I listen to it all the time now. "At Last," appears in several different movies including Father of the Bride 2. But I'd have to say that my favorite song on the entire album is "Stop the Wedding."
