Synopsis

Album Description
Thoroughly ?Modern? Etta ? here?s a long-overdue, definitive 2CD set containing one take of every recording Ms James made for Modern and Kent Records between 1954 and 1958, plus every surviving significant alternate take - remastered from the original Modern tape sources. This repertoire was recorded in New Orleans and Los Angeles between 1954 and 1958, and features nothing but the cream of each city?s session musicians. Many of the tracks here are undisputed R & B Hall Of Fame classics, including ?The Wallflower? (a.k.a. Roll With Me Henry), ?Good Rockin? Daddy?, ?The Pick-Up? and the wild and crazy ?Tough Lover?. Etta James is now rightly revered as one of R & B?s greatest ?Living Legends?, her reputation assured by a catalogue that spans over half a century. These are the tracks that forged Etta?s reputation as one of R&B?s all-time finest female talents. This is the first time that they have all been reissued in the same place, at the same time ? and they have never, ever sounded as good as they do here.
