It?s as though the title 'At Last' is trying to
dupe one into believing that Etta James had
experienced all the ups and downs that life could
offer her by the year 1961: performing on great
stages under the influence of drugs, her exodus
from the scene, appalling jobs in seedy clubs and
dives, and a brilliant comeback with an earthy
voice in Montreux followed by a tour of the USA
with the Rolling Stones. In truth, 'At Last'
should be seen as the potent motto of a debut LP
by a vocalist who had just emerged from her
beginnings as a gospel singer, and had now
recorded promising single songs.
Two of the numbers, the bittersweet 'All I Could
Do Was Cry' and the lounge-worthy 'Trust In Me',
promptly landed in both the R & B and Pop charts.
But the more carefree, candy rock ?n? roll ('Tough
Mary'), the weird and languishing song ('Girl Of
My Dreams') and the stuff of finest ballads
('Stormy Weather') are all found in this highly
diversified mainstream mix. An unobtrusive
background of gentle strings and chorus, so
typical of the times, sensitively enhances the
carefully chosen numbers, somewhere between Rhythm
& Blues, Soul, and Standard Jazz. The result is a
timeless, highly accomplished and variegated LP
from the beginning of Etta James?s lengthy
discography.
