"This reissue from Floating World features a pair of LPs by Etta James, "Love's Been Rough On Me" and "Life, Love & The Blues" originally issued in 1997 and 1998 on Private Music. "Love's Been Rough On Me" is a terrific latter-day album from Etta James, capturing her at the peak of her powers. James' voice has diminished only slightly over the course of her career, and she knows how to make such warhorses as "I've Been Loving You Too Long" sound fresh. She also invests contemporary music, including John Berry's contemporary country hit "If I Had Any Pride Left at All," with real soul. The result is a record that delivers the real goods with grace and style." (Al Campbell, Allmusic) Op "Life, Love & The Blues" covert ze een reeks blues- en soul-klassiekers: van Howlin' Wolfs "Spoonful" tot Marvin Gaye's "Inner Citty Blues".
