      Reviews:

      The soul/jazz/blues singer is pushing six decades as a professional musician (she released her first recording at the age of 16) yet shows no sign of slowing down. And even though she doesn’t compose her tunes, LaVette’s iconic, lived in voice, dynamic arrangements and forceful/taut interpretations bring unique perspectives to everything she touches. LaVette doesn’t just croon songs, she gets inside them, turns them inside out and reveals layers of meaning often even their writers didn’t express as effectively. Her 2018 set of Bob Dylan tunes, some quite obscure, showed how she transforms even unlikely material for an R&B vocalist into something that sounds like, well, a Bettye LaVette track.

      LaVette’s revival over the past decade has been built on covers albums, beginning with 2005’s all-woman I’ve Got My Own Hell to Raise, before which came a hit-and-miss career on the soul scene and a wild life (sleeping with Otis, tripping with Bootsy).

      Hailed by the New York Times as “one of the great soul interpreters of her generation,” Bettye LaVette is a vocalist who can take any type of song and make it completely her own. Her song "Let Me Down Easy" was an atmospheric masterpiece and led to her going on tour with The James Brown Review.
