CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Despite the presence of the sweetened (and great) single "A Natural Woman," Aretha Franklin's third Atlantic album is even more elegantly gritty than its two predecessors. She finds liberation in James Brown's "Money Won't Change You" and a revved-up take on Ray Charles's "Come Back Baby" much as she had in "Respect" and "Think" earlier, while Eric Clapton's guitar on "Good to Me As I Am to You" stings as much as her rueful, resigned delivery. --Rickey Wright Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA must have CD G. Reisch | clayton, MO United States | 02/29/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "The unedited version of "Chain of Fools" with the haunting blues opening makes this CD worth buying by itself. But wait, there's more. The hits fit well together with the lesser known songs; this CD may end up in my top ten of all time (I may have to drop a Beatles album because of it)." *SIZZLING* Music from this Soul Sister! Alex Honda | Los Angeles, CA USA | 01/17/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "There's not a single track on ARETHA: LADY SOUL that I didn't like. It's remarkably cohesive even though some songs were left over from other recording sessions.
Sure this dynamic album/CD contains the monster hits "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and "Chain Of Fools" but the real stand out for me is "Good To Me As I am To You." "Good To Me..." is a song that I've never heard of before. I don't remember it being available on all the numerous greatest hits and compilations albums for Aretha, but this song should have been right up there with the rest of her standards. The song is a blues-torch song with Aretha whooping and hollering like only she can and really proves that the title of the album was more than just a name. There are four bonus tracks including the long version of "Chain Of Fools" with spoken intro. And there's updated liner notes from David Nathan and the original liner notes from Jon Landau of Rolling Stone magazine. If you don't already own it, buy LADY SOUL now and you'll understand why Rolling Stone Magazine named her the greatest singer of all time." |
