ETTA JAMES – Life, Love & the Blues (1998) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Life, Love & the Blues is slick, funky, and thoroughly commercial. The queen of R&B does an admirable job of keeping her head above water, but this package of covers comes off more like the work of a tight lounge band than the work of a blues master. Tim Sheridan
