  • Description

    Produced by Rolling Stones Drummer, Steve Jordan, this is his third record with Bettye LaVette. Her recent success with a sample on an Odesza single has brought her deep soulful voice to a new and young audience. The album is made up of Randall Bramlett covers that Bettye's sultry vocal style really made into new compositions.




    "9/10…the best album of her six decade career…LaVette remains at the peak of her considerable powers at 77." - Uncut

    Description

    LaVette! hits all the marks. Together with Jay-Vee Records, Bettye has the freedom to explore new territory. Produced by Steve Jordan, LaVette! features 11 songs written by Georgia-born musician Randall Bramblett, who has been releasing solo albums since 1975. "Randall is the best writer that I have heard in the last 30 years," says Bettye. "He writes songs that are little soliloquies, they're like little stories about a moment, or a thing."

    Featuring Anthony Hamilton, John Mayer, Jon Batiste, Steve Winwood, Pedrito Martinez and Ray Parker Jr.



    The vinyl features an extra track, "What You Didn't Say".
