Review

Q (8/94, p.102) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...sub-titled SONGS OF BILLIE HOLIDAY...whoever had the idea is a visionary. For a start, Etta James is so distinctive, and so dissimilar to Holiday...instead we get a 100 percent personal tribute, with a body and soul of its own..."
Vibe (8/94, p.108) - "...The arrangements by Cedar Walton nicely split the difference between Holiday's uptown vibe and James's own barbecue-joint roots. An elegant and earthy performance all the way around..."
Musician (6/94, p.78) - "...MYSTERY LADY is a gem whose musicality and depths of feeling bear comparison with the best records of James' or Holiday's career...[Etta James] finds the bluesy thread that connects her R&B heritage with the jazz standards of Holiday's era..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.117) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "MYSTERY LADY is an act or re-creation from the outside in: metaphorical gardenia in her hair, Etta steps into a luxurious spotlight of small-band jazz arranged by pianist Cedar Walton..."
