Another treasure from a musical genius
Aretha can sing anything and make it exciting and thrilling. What more can be said about this legend in music that hasn't already been said. Anyone who hasn't heard her music from her prime years will understand why she is called Queen of Soul, and in this case, the blues. I would extend that to jazz and pop, as well. Had she just been blessed with that miraculous voice, it would have been enough. But music is in her heart and soul and she sings like a musical instrument. Her phrasing and incredible gifts at the piano set her apart from the rest. The sands of time are measured by AD, BC and now, AF (after Aretha,there is no one). You will never listen to any other female singers today after you hear Aretha. This album will explain everything, especially The Night Time is the Right Time. Hang on to your seat, turn up the volume and be prepared to get as close to heaven as one can get. .


Essential Music
Buy it, you'll love it! . There is not one half-way decent song on this cd, because they are all excellent.


Aretha in her element
This CD is most enjoyable because Aretha compliments those songs with her amazingly powerful vocals. Its nice to hear some 'BLUES" standards being sung by none other than the greatest female R&B singer on the planet and that's Aretha Franklin.


Feeling Bad Never Sounded So Good
Deep down sad, gut-wrenching Blues. Although known primarily as a Soul singer, Aretha Franklin usually found space on each of her early Atlantic albums for at least a few serious, hardcore Blues numbers. The best of these is collected here. There is only one song here that wasn't on her readily available releases, but that one track ( "Taking Another Man's Place" ) makes this an essential purchase for fans of Aretha and for fans of the Blues. Incredible vocal performances ( this is, after all, the Queen in her prime ), terrific musical performances (with guests like guitarists Eric Clapton and Duane Allman ) and inspired song choices make this one of the best Aretha Franklin compilations available.


Unbelievable
It's beautiful and it's important. This is one of the best blues albums I have ever heard. Aretha gets to the heart and soul of the music. She has a glorious voice which is enhanced by her deep, profound emotional expression of the material. She is the only artist I have ever heard successfully match Ray Charles on "Drown in My Own Tears"

I have been keeping this CD in my car and listening to it over and over. It often makes my day.
