These are the bare essentials. For those wishing to sample Etta James Hawkins' classic period at Chess Records without going for the box set anthology, this single-disc is the perfect purchase.Featuring 20 of the tracks that appear on the double-disc "The Essential Etta James", without anything literally essential left off, this is the one-stop, first-time purchase for those who wish to sample Etta's mixture of soul, R&B;, blues and, well, pop.Some might argue that Etta James' 60s albums "At Last!" and "Tell Mama" have just as much quality material, and while that is true, this collection draws from several different LP and single releases, making it the best introduction for newcomers.
