Etta James was one of the greatest R&B singers of all time. She possessed an incredibly soulful voice and an amazing ability to interpret old-fashioned yet timeless melodies. James sang with unmatched emotional hunger and a pain that often leaves her listeners with the chills. This quintessential release includes two of her finest (and long unavailable) albums from her heyday, which were originally released by the Crown label: Miss Etta James (1961), and Twist with Etta James (1962). Both feature selections from early singles dating back as far as 1955, including a number of R&B staples like “Good Rockin’ Daddy”, “Roll with Me, Henry”, “How Big a Fool”, “Hey! Henry” and “Strange Things Happening”, among others.

Fusing rhythm & blues with gospel punch, swing and twist as well, these two outstanding LPs have been remastered and packaged together in this very special collector’s edition, which also includes 10 bonus tracks (consisting of a variety of hard to find sides recorded by James for Modern and Kent during that same period).
