Free Music Notes for Burnin' Down the House: Live at the House of Blues
Free Music Review: Disappointing!
Hit: 1 Stars
I am a huge Etta James fan, so I readily purchased this CD. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed - her voice, although powerful, is flat and she speaks, rather than sings, many of the lyrics. At times, she sounds like the old Etta, especially on "At Last", but these moments are way too few to justify purchasing this CD.Free Music Review: The R& B Hurricane is alive and kicking
Hit: 4 Stars
I hope many young artists have the energy and voice power this survivor of blues, heroin and wrong men has at 64. This is a powerful release. Etta remains a hurricane on stage and the band is solid as a rock.Free Music Review: Great live album
Hit: 5 Stars
It's Etta James fer cryin' out loud!!! What more do I have to say? She sings everything beautifully and, as a true blues / jazz singer should, she plays with the vocal phrasings and takes them to new places. Great band, great singer, great songs..... Just Buy it and enjoy.Free Music Review: Etta James STILL rocks the house.
Hit: 5 Stars
In 1963 Etta James recorded a superb live set entitled "ETTA JAMES ROCKS THE HOUSE". In 2002, thirty nine years later, this Lady can still rocks and even set the house on fire with "BURNIN'DOWN THE HOUSE". Etta outdid herself this time, she sounds powerful and confident, with almost fifty years in the music business, her expertise is evident. The musicians in the ROOTS BAND are terrific and give her a phenomenal back up. In such a long career, the songs associated with Etta James are so many, that makes this selection a very eclectic album. On track eleven, instead of "My funny Valentine", I would like to hear "Here I am (come and take me)" and it would be a totally Al Green's medley of the Al's songs recorded by Etta. Listen carefully this new live version of "At last", and you fall in love again with Etta's voice. The art of the album is quite good, but I wonder why there's only one shot of Etta, for a hardcore fan like me, it would be nicer to see more pictures of her performing on stage. To have Etta James' latest album, it's a must for every fan.
