Matriarch of the blues by
Etta James(
Recording
)
20 editions published between 2000 and 2001 in 5 languages and held by 394 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Personnel includes: Etta James (vocals); Bobby Murray, Josh Sklair, Leo Nocentelli (guitar); Jimmy Z Zavala (harmonica, tenor & baritone saxophones); Lee R. Thornburg (trumpet, valve trombone); Tom Poole (trumpet); David K. Matthews (piano); Mike Finnigan (Hammond B-3 organ); Sametto James (bass); Donto James (drums, percussion); Ross Locke (percussion, background vocals); Goldman Redding (background vocals). Recorded at Fort Athens Studio, Riverside, California. Includes liner notes by Patricia Kannas. MATRIARCH OF THE BLUES was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Sandwiched between trad jazz excursions BLUE GARDENIA and HEART OF A WOMAN came MATRIARCH OF THE BLUES, a millennial outing featuring Etta James unleashing her powerful growl on a wide-ranging mix of soul and rock & roll covers. This outing found a then 62-year old Peaches roaring over a crack band equally at home pumping punchy horns and a slinky groove into the Born Again-era Dylan nugget "Gotta Serve Somebody" and laying down a funky bed for O.V. Wright's tasty "Don't Let My Baby Ride." Not surprisingly, James's strongest moments come on ballads like Ray Charles's gospel-flavored "Come Back Baby" and Ann Peebles's pleading "You're Gonna Make Me Cry." This veteran vocalist easily slips into the swamp-rock pocket of CCR's "Born On The Bayou" and rides herd over a particularly crisp reading of Big Mama Thornton's oft-covered "Hound Dog." Even The Rolling Stones' disco anthem "Miss You" is given an even more lascivious twist by an undulating mid-tempo groove that replaces the dance beat with flamenco-like nuances and luscious sounding horns

"From her early years as a diva of rhythm and blues, Etta James has since grown into a voice that literally transcends generations. It doesn't matter whether she is singing an old standard, a Broadway hit, or a rock'n'roll anthem, she is always reaching into a deep level of musical consciousness - a place primal yet sophisticated, struggling yet triumphant."--Page 4 of cover
