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-

That cover is from a different, and in my view, inferior recording she did a while back.  I urge you to listen to either Blackbirds or Things Have Changed, you might be surprised and impressed.

Agreed; that one is also produced by Jordan and mastered by Calbi.

I got it on a CD, and of course its quiet.  And, of course, I love it.  A wonderful recording.  As is the previous release by this stunning artist.  The Dylan one. Oh my.
