Our Take

Etta James is an absolute powerhouse of a performer, and her live album from the Chicago Blues Festival in 1985 is a testament to that. From the moment she steps on stage, you can feel the energy crackling in the air, like a lightning bolt ready to strike. The band behind her is tight and funky, providing the perfect backdrop for James to unleash her soulful vocals. Songs like "I'd Rather Go Blind" and "At Last" are delivered with a raw emotion that sends shivers down your spine. But it's not just James' voice that shines on this album - it's her stage presence. She struts and preens, commanding the audience's attention with every flick of her wrist and every twist of her hips. It's impossible not to be drawn in by her charisma. The highlight of the album is undoubtedly the epic 10-minute rendition of "Something's Got a Hold on Me", where James lets loose and shows off her vocal acrobatics. It's a tour de force that leaves you breathless and wanting more. Overall, Etta James' Chicago Blues Festival performance is a must-listen for any fan of soulful, electrifying music. It's a masterclass in how to captivate an audience and leave them begging for an encore.
