Tough Woman/Early Recordings 1955-60

2011 two CD collection. Etta James is no shrinking violet and this is the first CD release for this iconic artist that covers her earliest years with her classic Chess recordings. Disc One features her '50s Los Angeles Rock and Blues repertoire, including the #1 hit "Roll with Me Henry". Disc Two presents her earliest Chicago recordings for the Chess label, including her version of "I Just Want to Make Love to You". Also on Disc Two is her complete at Last album which is considered one of early '60s most important R&B albums. Etta James is every inch a no-hold's-barred performer. Mix that in with her troubled past and the undoubted fact that she is a true R&B pioneer, she has certainly paid her dues!. Jasmine.
