The Montreux years

Description

Etta James: The Montreux Years is a treasure trove of timeless classics, powerful and electrifying performances, and raw, soaring vocals from one of the greatest singers of all time. The collection, which includes recordings from the artist’s concerts in Montreux in 1977, 1978, 1989, 1990 and 1993, sums up and reflects Etta’s artistic dynamism and her lasting impact. Spanning performances across three decades, Etta James: The Montreux Years offers highly personal and intimate snapshots of Etta James’s musical journey, her highlights and her phenomenal career. From one of Etta James’s earliest hits, the infectious and unstoppable Something's Got A Hold On Me, to a medley made up of At Last, Trust In Me and Sunday Kind of Love, a fusion of standout tracks from the early 60s, to the raw and emotional I'd Rather Go Blind and the soulful Tell Mama. The collection ends with Baby What You Want Me To Do, Etta James’s tribute to Jimmy Reed and the encore from her 1979 concert. On July 11, 1975, Claude Nobs captured an important moment in music history: Etta James’s very first concert in Europe, at the 9th edition of the festival.
