Aretha Sings the Blues


Aretha Sings the Blues is a compilation album of previously released Aretha Franklin recordings from Aretha's early 1960s tenure with Columbia Records.

Reception

Armond White of Spin wrote, "Aretha had established a tradition that, as a revolutionary, she would naturally have to evolve away from. Aretha Sings the Blues shows Aretha's pregreatness style, wavering between Mahalia Jackson's command and Nancy Wilson's piquancy."
