JAMES TAYLOR LOVES HER VOICE. SO DO WE. Bettye LaVette has one of the most singular sounds in R&B. For over forty years, she has been recording songs you will instantly recognize, yet it’s taken four decades for this Detroit-bred legend to receive the acclaim she deserves. LaVette’s velvet-rich voice and gospel-based blues have earned the admiration of no less than Paul McCartney, Keith Richards, and Bonnie Raitt, while James Taylor says “Bettye LaVette’s voice is an authentic beacon in a world of artifice.” We only wish we’d found her sooner.
