Californian Etta James decided against accepting filmmaker Martin Scorcese's personal invitation to sing at The Blues gala in New York in early 2003. The well-celebrated soul and blues queen makes amends here with what is one of the most blues-centered recordings in her expansive discography, bringing her big, no-nonsense voice and her feisty, proud woman's point of view to bear on classics, many identified with Chicago. The likes of Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightnin'," Jimmy Reed's "Hush Hush," and Muddy Waters's "Got My Mojo Working" may be hackneyed choices, but she seizes each of a dozen as her own, and clearly, as she says herself, these are the blues songs that touch her the deepest. No argument here. --Frank-John Hadley

 Blues to the Bone April 14, 2008
I am a huge BLUES fan, but it is hard to find in my area, so I buy a lot of "BLUES" CDs. Although Keb" Mo is probably one of my favorites, I have played the Etta James CD all the way to work and back (60miles/day) every day since I received it from Amazon, and still not tired of her rich voice.
 not Etta's best February 8, 2008

Despite the title, this is not Etta's best blues performance. When she's hot she's hot. This stuff is pretty perfunctory.
She is the Queen Of Blues Without A Doubt !! January 5, 2008
I have just listened to her CD, Blues To The Bone, and she is as phenominal as ever!!
I`m in no way an expert of the Blues, but I know what I like.
There is no way you can listen to this CD, and not move to the music!
She proves, once again, that she is the Queen of Blues!!
God Bless you Miss Etta!!!

A remarkable lack of mojo renders this suitable only as background music in fast food suburban restaurants - I guess the hokey cover photo should have warned me. If you want full-on Jamesian mojo then play her Matriarch of the Blues album LOUD! - see p2 of my reviews.
Etta James Is the blues August 12, 2007
This is one of Etta's finest pieces of work! She is someone to be admired, and highly recommend this album to anyone who loves the blues!
