Etta Is Betta Than Evvah! is the twelfth studio album by Etta James, released in 1976.^[6] It was her final studio album for Chess Records.^[4]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the songs are just kind of generic: good-enough uptempo dance cuts and midtempo groovers, songs that give enough space for Etta but never really escape the confines of average '70s disco-oriented R&B."^[2] The Sunday Times wrote that the album "mixes tough funk and bluesy soul ballads."^[7]
