Bettye LaVette

Another stunner from this magnificent artist!  Just now have the opportunity to play her new recording, Blackbirds, and its stunning.  Produced by the great Steve Jordan, Mastered by the great Greg Calbi (of whom I am terribly envious, he masters all of Dylan's recordings).  This Bettye LaVette album (I have it on standard CD) is simply magnificent, wonderful wonderful soulful singing, magnificent recording, and over the top song selection; there is a theme.  Take a listen, you will have no regrets if you do.

All the best to everyone-

The song 'Love Reign O'er Me' can be found on her album call 'Interpretations', as a bonus track. A british rock songbook of 60s and 70s tunes by Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Traffic, and  Elton John.

You will hear these songs under a new light. They were transformed.  A great album.

This was the 1st LaVette album I purchased. Just got 'Blackbird. Will look for 'Things have Changed'. 

Thanks!
