Tough voiced R&B powerhouse Etta James released these two albums for Argo in a busy 1962. Equally at home both with sultry blues and heartfelt R&B ballads alike her inimitable voice is the thing that shines through her self-titled and ‘Sings For Lovers’ sets. Her gospel roots flow through the uplifting ‘Something’s Got a Hold On Me’, ‘Spoonful’ is a sneaking duet with Harvey Fuqua, ‘Street of Tears’ is a good catchy dancer and ‘Nobody Loves You Like Me’ with its cavernous echo in the vocals has more sass than you can shack a tail feather to. Lots of lush orchestration on many of the tracks that will please fans of early sixties rhythm and blues.
