Rocks The House is the first live album by blues and soul singer Etta James. It was recorded in September 1963 at the New Era Club in Nashville, Tennessee.
I find that some of her later recordings were drowned in strings but here you get to listen to a young, raucous Etta James backed by a small R&B band in an intimate club.
