Free Music Review: Etta James is All The Way WONDERFUL !
Hit: 5 Stars
I have loved Etta James for decades - indeed she is my favorite singer of all. I am always excited by any new release from the great Ms James and I have rarely been disappointed. This time I was a little nervous when I saw the song list. Etta James doing "Purple Rain"? I feared this might be a mis-step. But I should know to have faith in my girl 'cause she acquits herself magnificently on this album. "Purple Rain" is in fact one of the highlights for me - along with her wondrous version of "All the Way" and terrific, sensitive readings of "Holding Back the Years", "Believe I Can Fly", "Calling You" and more. Etta's interpretation of "It's a Man's World" is nothing short of brilliant. And Etta's blues and soul drenched rendition of "Strung Out" shows that the most soulful singer ever has still got it. YOU GO GIRL !!!
All the Way Poster
CD > POPULAR MUSIC > JAZZThroughout a near-50-year career that has seen few low points, at least professionally, Etta James has established herself as one of music's most talented R&B, blues, and jazz singers. On All the Way, she attempts to tackle the easy-listening genre with a diverse set of ballads that span the Frank Sinatra-approved title track to covers of songs by Prince, Simply Red, John Lennon, and R. Kelly. Appearing after two roof-raising albums--2003's Let's Roll and 2004's explosive Blues to the Bone--this is a jarring change-up. Amidst schmaltzy production, cushy trumpet, and mushy keyboard strings, James settles into a Sunday-morning-coffee-and-newspaper approach.Occasionally the force of James's distinctive, compelling voice overpowers the syrupy backing, but, for the most part, the plain-vanilla arrangements diminish and even enervate her typically spicy vocals. Unlike the classic "At Last," on which James pushed the romantic song into overdrive, she remains in neutral for the majority of these tracks. There's no interplay with the band, and she makes a few missteps, such as the lackluster version of West Side Story's "Somewhere" (that goes nowhere). Those seeking low-key yet accomplished background music versions of James Brown's "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" will find this just what the elevator operator ordered. The rest of James's fans may feel the woman who could once sing the phone book and make it sound riveting has dialed a wrong number. --Hal Horowitz
