Etta James and the Roots Band - Let’s Roll

Miss Peaches has been singing not-so-coy come-ons ever since 1955’s “Roll with Me Henry.” But the stage is where her sexually suggestive act really shines. And on this live recording, the elderly artist proves she could still teach even Carole Pope how to get down and dirty. Apart from an unwise cover of “Born to Be Wild,” the legendary singer (born Jamesetta Hawkins) sticks to r&b favourites like “Come to Mama” and “Rock Me Baby.” And the album-closing ballad, “Sugar on the Floor,” is stunning.
