Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at the New Era Club in Nashville during late 1963, this raucous album beautifully documents James turning a sweaty, intimate blues club into a frantic soul spectacle. Her towering, gravelly voice and remarkably playful crowd banter inject massive amounts of fiery energy into traditional blues material.
