Music reviews of Let's Roll
Music Review: This Lady Rock & Rolls!
Rating: 5 Stars
ETTA JAMES is the reigning Queen of Jazz & Blues, a terrific talent with a cornucopia of soul. The featured recording LET'S ROLL highlights the artist at top form. James delivers hard rocking message of motherly advice in Somebody to Love and Trust Yourself; a full throttle rendition of The Blues is My Business (And Business is Good); a humorous duet describing the male/female romantic relationship in Stacked Deck; and a slow blues ache of a relationship at the end of the road Please, No More.
Blues to the Bone
Description of Let's Roll
"The blues is my business and business is good," Etta James growls over a churning rhythm section on the appropriately titled "Let's Roll." Although not entirely a rock & roll album, the disc is a rousing reminder of the gritty "Tell Mama"/"Roll with Me Henry"-style of tough R&B that caught the world's attention more than 30 years ago. From this disc's swampy "Wayward Saints of Memphis" to the brazen "Lie No Better" and the Stones/Faces boozy slap of "Somebody to Love" (all co-penned by Delbert McClinton), James, now in her mid-60s, is back in her element. With a brassy, sassy attack more powerful than that of vocalists half her age, the singer--who also produced--works her wiles on a stunning collection culminating in a gutsy eight-minute version of Billy Wright's "Stacked Deck." Declaring, "the Queen, that's me, and I'm about to wear my crown," there's no doubt that Etta James is blues-rock royalty and definitely on a roll. --Hal HorowitzContemporary Blues CDs
