Notes

James has long been a masterful blues balladeer — a talent spotlighted throughout the course of this 14-song collection. Some tracks are cushioned by string-enriched arrangements, others — notably 1965's passionate "Only Time Will Tell" — are melodic Chicago soul. Four tracks are previously unreleased, including her reading of Billie Holiday's "Lover Man."
