Here's a lady that delivers a quick belt to your belly and doesn't care if it hurts. Cue this up and get ready to go a few rounds with this lovely lady, but do watch out for that right hook, and she CAN wield a 3" heel con mucho gusto. Easily one of my favorite live releases ever, this 1963 recording at The New Ear Club in Nashville is a real bar burner. I've always been fondly drawn to the photos on the cover—talk about all business.You don't know what Etta's got strapped in that ace bandage.
Better believe it, motherfucker.
Strap on some gloves if you can take a shot.

You got it right - the best live album I've heard, the purest rawest rhythm and blues ever put to wax - and that includes Ray Charles!
