James, Etta
Seven Day Fool (2lp)
This double LP compilation selects tracks from Etta James' early albums and 45s, and offers a glimpse to the immense talent of this legendary artist. From fabulous vocal jazz tunes like 'Stormy Weather' or 'Plum Nuts' to classics of the blues like Howlin' Wolf's 'Spoonful' or Muddy Waters' 'I Just Want To Make Love To You' (James' version became very popular when used in a very famour Coca-Cola TV commercial); from delightful ballads like 'At Last' to dancefloor fillers like 'Seven Day Fool' (an extremely popular tune in the Northern Soul scene), here is an excellent selection of songs that set Etta James as a very big name in Afro-American music already at this early stage of her career.
