  • All Music Guide

    The Essentials collects 12 tracks recorded in the 1950's by Ruth Brown. She was the jewel in Atlantic's crown in the 50's cranking out hit after hit like "Lucky Lips," "Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean" and "Mambo Baby". The only problem with this disc is that Rhino released a best of in 1996 that has 11 more songs including a couple of rare live tracks, superior liner notes and the exact same list price. The only reason to buy The Essential instead of Rockin' in Rhythm: The Best of Ruth Brown is if you like Ruth Brown but only 12 tracks worth. The Essential is not only inessential, it is unnecessary.
