About
Tell Mama is the seventh studio album by American singer Etta Jame. Her second album release for Cadet Record, produced by Rick Hall at his FAME Studios in Muscle Shoal, Alabama, it was James's first album since 1964 to enter the Billboard 200 chart. It contained her first Top 10 R&B hits since 1964 – the title cut and "Security". The "Tell Mama" single gave James her all-time highest Billboard Hot 100 position, reaching number 23. In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Bill Dahl felt the album to be "one of her best and most soul-searing Cadet album." Dahl called the title track "relentlessly driving" and "I'd Rather Go Blind," "a moving soul ballad." He also said that the album's producer, "really did themselves proud behind Miss Peache." .
