The one hundred and seventeenth album: #117 Aretha Franklin - Aretha: Lady Soul
The second list album of the Queen of Soul isn't as high energy as the first one, while still having a punch to it. Natural Woman plays like a soulful ballad, with some additional flourishes and generally feeling quite upbeat. It sounds good, but by being less abundant, I think it showcases some smaller emotions better, which come across really well in this set of songs. This is a more sentimental, toned down album, but it makes Franklin's voice shine all the more and it all sounds great.
