Heart Of A Woman
Heart of a Woman is a great idea for an album. Etta James chose 11 love songs from her favorite female singers -- Billie Holiday Dinah Washington Sarah Vaughn and Carmen McRae -- augmenting the album with a new version of her signature song, "At Last." She has recorded several of these songs before (including Alice Cooper s "Only Women Bleed," which inexplicably became a standard for both her and McRae , but the difference with Heart of a Woman is the context. Here, they're put in a smooth jazz setting, masterminded by James who has producer credit. There's no denying that Etta James is a powerhouse, one of the finest blues singers of the 20th century, and she still possesses an exceptionally strong voice, robust and filled with passion. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
