This woman started warming my heart just by the song selection on her 1st disc: Tunes written and/or done by Delbert McClinton, that Texas master of soul/blues. Etta Britt. 2 albums now after being a back-up singer for a long while. Both are available from the Usual Suspect. Some from the 1st later but let's focus on her delicious 2nd--a throwback in the best way to the glory days of Tennessee soul. 3 tunes I didn't like (the ballad and the 2 self-penned pieces), leaving 9 good'uns. Out of the Shadows. Here's a sample:
