CD Details
Synopsis
Product Description This album has been a long time coming. Bettye LaVette is one of the all-time R&B greats; yet, aside from European releases, this new CD marks only the second time her talents have been showcased in a full-length album. Here she's joined by three-time Grammy Award-winning producer Dennis Walker (Robert Cray, B.B. King), and Bettye's writing and lyrics are top-notch. It all adds up to a superb contemporary blues album, one that looks to the future while paying tribute to Bettye's remarkable past. Features guitarist Bobby Murray and keyboardist Rudy Robinson.

CD ReviewsBest Yet.For Bettye Lavette Michael J. Aston | 10/23/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is this best recorded work yet by this veteran artist.Check out the track "Thru the Winter". This gives me goose bumps every time I hear it Most of the songs on the CD were written especially for Bettye by the producer Dennis Walker and they are a perfect fit This album simply oozes SOUL and. I'm so happy that after almost 40 years of recording Bettye is finally getting the recognition she deserves." Betty LaVette is all that and a bag of chips. L. J. Richardson | DE, USA | 08/26/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was lloking at Blues Divas, and heard this little bitty women rocking, "It serves him right". I had never heard of her, but am glad that I tuned in to hear her blow. You don't hear voices like hers anymore. We continue to hear what I call the screaming me mes, Mariah, Janet, etc. This wpman can truly sing. If you have never heard this songstress sing, you haven't heard the blues. If you are feeling low, she will make you feel that she understands your pain. Give a sister a listen as this sister can truly sing. Yea." Fantastic 12 Sheila Thomas | Detroit, MI USA | 11/09/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This has got to be one of Bettye's best releases. It is very seldom I like every track on a disc. There isn't one song I'm not happy with. Of course, I do have a few favorites: Forecast, Serves Him Right, and When the Blues Catch Up With You...WOW!"
