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 of the artist's concerts in Montreux in 1977, 1978, 1989, 1990, and 1993, encapsulates and reflects Etta's artistic dynamism and lasting impact. Spanning performances from 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 early hits, the infectious and inexhaustible "Something's Got A Hold On Me," a medley composed of "At Last," "Trust In Me," and "Sunday Kind of Love," which is a fusion of signature early 60s tracks, 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 of her 1979 concert. On July 11, 1975, Claude Nobs captured a significant moment in music history: Etta James's very first concert in Europe, during the 9th edition of the festival.
