Etta James - At Last! (DOL Pressing)

At Last! captures Etta James at the meeting point of soul, blues and jazz standards, with a voice equally capable of intimate phrasing and full-force emotional expression. This listing is specifically for the DOL Pressing, catalogue number DOL926HG, keeping it distinct from other vinyl editions of the album.

The title song remains the natural starting point, but the record offers much more than a single signature performance. Trust in Me and All I Could Do Was Cry bring the intensity of her early rhythm-and-blues recordings into a programme that also includes Stormy Weather, A Sunday Kind of Love and Willie Dixon's I Just Want to Make Love to You. The range of material allows James to shift between tenderness, sorrow and a tougher blues delivery without losing the directness that makes these performances so memorable.

For listeners exploring the foundations of her recorded work, At Last! is a compelling introduction to an artist whose personality carries across different arrangements and song styles. This single-LP DOL edition is supplied through Lasgo, with barcode 0889397219260 and the supplier release date of 1 September 2017.
