JAZZ BLOGG DAY 6

Bettye Lavette is so fine. I got to see her second show, where she wailed and roared with a smoky tone from a hot fire below. She pulled out cuts from her new “I’ve Got My Own Hell To Raise,” including ones penned by Lucinda Williams and Dolly Parton. Lavette is somewhat underground, which I imagine is rather tough on one’s career, but it has left her alone, untarnished, and unscarred. Or rather it has left her alone, allowing the tarnish and scars to pour out in a soulful torrent like you’ve never heard. Yeah, I like that description better. God she was great.
