About this album
Aretha Sings The Blues is a strong reminder of how naturally Aretha Franklin could inhabit blues material. This 1985 compilation gathers performances that show her range beyond pop and soul stardom, leaning into smoky balladry, aching phrasing and hard-earned emotional authority. Songs such as “Drinking Again” and “Trouble In Mind” highlight her gift for turning classic material into something unmistakably personal. Issued in 1985, the set reflects Franklin’s ability to cross styles while remaining rooted in gospel intensity and rhythmic precision, making it a valuable portrait of one of popular music’s most expressive voices.
