| | Metromix. At last, Etta James' music comes alive in well-sung revue (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | You can't make that charge against "At Last: A Tribute to Etta James," which is far from being my favorite of the Taylor revues, but certainly offers something a little different from the usual BET style. |
 | | James, who took her gospel roots and fused them with rock music later in her career, has an especially eclectic songbook, ranging from her signature hit "At Last" through heart-wrenching ballads to harder-edged fare much of which was first recorded by men. |
 | | James' fusion numbers owing much to gospel, rock, blues, jazz and even country here are rendered with diverse but consistently appealing arrangements, specially created by pianist Thomas Washington. |
