ANTI- Records officially releases Bettye LaVette's new CD The Scene Of The Crime tomorrow 25 September 2007. The album was recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals FAME studio, the same studio where 34 years earlier Bettye recorded a masterpiece entitled Child Of The Seventies which Atlantic inexplicably shelved thus effectively and tragically derailing her career. The lost 'masterpiece' was finally released as Souvenirs by the French Arts & Soul label in 2000, and music lo... MORE

Not sure many would really call this funk, but here's a Bettye LaVette cut from her 2005 release "I've Got My Own Hell to Raise". . .Girlcrawl turned me onto Bettye, and after having my socks knocked off by her most recent release, "Scene of the Crime", I decided to start collecting more Bettye. Went to this album next which was her "breakout" album (or did it set the stage for "Scene of the Crime" to become a monster?) .Anyway here's something a bit funky for Friday fro... MORE

Every year around November the search for a CD starts. We exchange music with several other folks and the goal is to give something we like that our friends would probably never pick up themselves. Earlier in the season I would have laid money on our CD of choice to give being Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. Then we tuned in to Bettye Lavette's latest offering, "Scene of the Crime" featuring the Drive by Truckers as her backup band. Hands down the winner. If you haven't ha... MORE

AMAZING stuff here. Bought this album a couple weeks ago after reading Girlcrawl's post about it. http://mog.com/Girlcrawl/blog_post/113437 Thank you Girlcrawl for turning me on to this! Never had met Bettye before. I'm enjoying it greatly and recommend it highly. What a fantastic voice this lady has. While much of it is a slower tempo than I typically prefer every cut on this disc is excellent. The pairing of Bettye with the Drive-by Truckers for this album seems a ... MORE

The day I turned 23, a few years ago, was a little traumatic for me. For some reason, when I was younger, 23 had been cemented in my mind as a magical age when I'd have my life figured out - when, if I hadn't quite reached all my goals yet, I'd at least know where I was going. Instead, of course, I was right in the middle of a standard quarterlife crisis, unsure of anything except the fact that I wasn't ready to get any older. Rilo Kiley was my soundtrack that year. Th...
