Tell Mama
Editorial Reviews
<"b000002o9z5228"> From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
California singer, then plagued with personal demons, went to record her best 1960s Southern soul outpost Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, was where the work. Accompanied by the same house bluesmen who'd roweled Aretha Franklin just months earlier, James unleashes "Tell Mama" (a Top Forty hit in 1967), "I'd Rather Go Blind" (her magnum opus), and ten pearls of slightly lower luster. Her vocals throughout are paragons of female virility. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993
