ADDITIONAL NOTES: AllMusic Review by Rovi Staff Though the studio albums Etta James made for Chess in the 1960s usually had the blues singer surrounded by lush production and string-heavy arrangements, this live date finds her performing with only a rhythm section, organist, guitarist, and tenor saxophonist. The singer seems to respond to both the stripped-down setting and the enthusiastic audience with noticeable abandon. In fact, James the classy balladeer, a role she sometimes plays on her studio albums, is nowhere to be found on this blazing set. The only time the band slows down is on the tearjerker story-song "All I Could Do Is Cry" (though what the tune lacks in tempo it makes up for in emotional intensity). The rest of the set is straight-edged blues and R&B, including covers of some hits of the day, like "Money (That's What I Want)" and Ray Charles' "What'd I Say." Jimmy Reed's "Baby What You Want Me to Do" (on which James does a growling, harmonica-imitating vocal solo) steps up the blues quotient, as does the band's finale of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You," with James' gospel-drenched pipes wailing all the while. Etta James Rocks the House indeed.
The records are not play-graded. They are graded visually according to the following standards: Mint: Still sealed. NM: Record should look virtually unplayed, shiny, glossy, no visible marks. EX: Record may have a few minor marks or scratches but none that break the surface of the vinyl. VG: Record will have some scratches and/or noticeable marks. It should hopefully play through without much background noise. G: It should play through without skipping but have some background noise.Rough: We will only list the rarest records in this condition. We do not grade album jackets but only comment on them.
