Description: Californian Etta James decided against accepting filmmaker Martin Scorcese's personal invitation to sing at The Blues gala in New York in early 2003. The well-celebrated soul and blues queen makes amends here with what is one of the most blues-centered recordings in her expansive discography, bringing her big, no-nonsense voice and her feisty, proud woman's point of view to bear on classics, many identified with Chicago. The likes of Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightnin'," Jimmy Reed's "Hush Hush," and Muddy Waters's "Got My Mojo Working" may be hackneyed choices, but she seizes each of a dozen as her own, and clearly, as she says herself, these are the blues songs that touch her the deepest. No argument here. --Frank-John Hadley

Reviews:

great music, great sound, what else do you need?

One of the best sounding CDs I own, sounds better that half of the DVD-Audio's I have. Very clean acoustic sound even though this is not entirely acoustic recording, as far as I can tell. Etta's voice is terrific; the music is everything blues is supposed to be, in a few words, you want to own this CD.

HELP! I can't get this out of my CD player!!!!

Put it in your changer if you've got one. "Blues to the Bone" is not leaving the CD player anytime soon. Etta James has one of the most powerful and soulful voices I have ever heard. Here's she's doing some traditional male songs with heart and gusto.



James' voice and the instrumentation demands more than one listen. Stick this one in your CD player--but be prepared not to change the disk for a while.

Hypnotic

Etta proves once again that if you are a real blues singer you give life to any project you take on. It doesn't matter that these songs have been performed by a huge number of people in the past. If you have ever seen Etta in concert you would know she pulls no punches with a style that makes the floor rock under your feet while you are hypnotized by her spell. As BB King says, "Anyone can play the blues... but does it sound right?" I have listened to thousands of hours of blues in and I can think of a hundred people that couldn't get away with this album but only a few that could make it a masterpiece. Etta is one of the latter - no question asked. The band on this album and the production quality don't hurt it either! You go girl!!
