Ace does it again - of course. These two discs, The Complete Modern and Kent
Recordings, contain every side that the young powerhouse Etta James cut for
Modern, Crown, and Kent between 1955 and 1961. There are 42 cuts on these two
discs, remastered and sequenced painstakingly according to release date. There
are no less than seven previously unissued cuts, and two more that have appeared
only on Ace compilations. (Theres a killer alternate take of Hey Henry here that
rivals the released version). Fans will have a lot of this material in various
places, but this collection puts everything together in one slamming package.
The first disc is comprised exclusively of sides recorded for Modern between 55
and 57. Among the masterpieces of killer, bed-rocking R&B found here are
W-O-M-A-N, Hey Henry, Good Rockin Day, The Pick-Up, Tough Lover, and Be Mine.
Disc two, where the treasures really are, lays out the Kent and Crown material,
and contains all the rarities. There are a few duets here where James is joined
by Betty & Dupree as on If It Aint One Thing, and Were In Love. The rehearsal of
Be My Lovely Dovey, is raw and wonderful, as is the alternate version of Crazy
Feelin, without backing from a group. The liner essay by Tony Rounce is both
authoritative and accessible, and gives a solid and revealing portrait of James
place in the pantheon and how her star rose. This is, in its way, an historic
set because this is the first time all these sides have appeared in one place.
Highly recommended.
