INFORMATION: Brand new unplayed TEST PRESSING. Only 5 Made
Product Details UPC: PPAN EKS 61347 Artist: Etta James Title: The Right Time
There's plenty of manufactured emotion on records, but you won't find any of it here. Etta just rocks naturally. It's like sitting next to a seasoned story teller in full command of the narrative. Nothing for you to do but sit back, close your eyes and listen.
A sign of great singers for me is how they put a stamp on songs that have been done many times. In that regard, Etta makes "Love and Happiness" and "Ninety And A Half Won't Do" her own. She tears up "The Night Time Is the Right Time" with the help of Crawford's sax. Of course she has the blues well covered, my personal favorite being "Down Home Blues", and flashes her humorous side with the trash-talking "Wet Match". She hits any note she wants without straining and with total conviction.
But all the songs are top-notch. The best advice for anyone reading this is to just pick up the album and discover the old-school glory of Etta James. Tyler Smith

Review: Hi Fi News December 2017 by Ken Kessler 9/10
This would have been LP of the month, had it not arrived in the middle of a quartet of equally fine gems. Legrand has the sonic edge, but equally this gives you some of the finest-ever moments of Etta at her soulful best, when she was paired with the perfectly complementary Jerry Wexler as producer, in a return to Muscle Shoals.
Etta never disappointed, and back in '92 she was on fire: her interpretaition of 'Ninety Nine and Half Won't Do',with the song's co-auther Steve Cropper on guitar, is one of those moments soul fans dream of, while the guest musiicians fronm a who's who of funk. Steve Winwood, Lucky Peterson,Hank Crawford, Willie Weeks. JUST BUY IT. KK

Due to the current world circumstances I am only shipping once or twice a week, meaning delays are possible.
