Etta James

Throughout a truly incredible career, Etta James has all but defined the role of the quintessential rhythm & blues vocalist. A musical force and a major hit-maker since the ’50s, James has earned numerous accolades including six Grammy awards, among them a Best Jazz Vocal Performance, two Hall of Fame awards and the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Dreamer is James’ first album in five years and her final studio album before she retires. The album, which marks the end of an incredible fifty-year recording career, features one-of-a-kind renditions of Otis Redding’s Cigarettes and Coffee, Bobby “Blue” Bland’s Dreamer, Ray Charles’ In The Evening and Guns N’ Roses’ Welcome To The Jungle.  James remarks, “I wish to thank all my fans who have shown me love and support over all these years. I love you all.”
