 | Amazing Grace: The Complete Recordings [Read More ...]
Description: This Rhino re-release of Amazing Grace is at least as much a work of love as of marketing. The sound is beefier and clearer, but most importantly, the two-day church sessions are included. So, there's much more church (specifically, Reverend James Cleveland's marvelous orating) o... |

Description: Despite the presence of the sweetened (and great) single "A Natural Woman," Aretha Franklin's third Atlantic album is even more elegantly gritty than its two predecessors. She finds liberation in James Brown's "Money Won't Change You" and a revved-up take on Ray Charles's "Come B... |

Review: Sister Re:This album was recorded 15 years after AMAZING GRACE, Aretha Franklin's groundbreaking gospel album. It's hard to top that album, but this is a nice collection nonetheless. You can tell that Aretha loves this kind of music. I wish she would do another album like this! G... |

Review: PURE, GOSPEL; PURE GRACE:Stepping Off the Edge: Learning & Living Spiritual Practice
I give this one about 10 stars. Old, scratchy cuts like someone tape recorded her singing in church. Some songs were recorded when Aretha was 14 years old! The woman's emotional depth astonishes.... |
