She is a true American music legend, although the critical acclaim, awards and accolades deservedly showered upon her in recent years were a long time coming.

With swampy guitars, slippery Wurlitzer piano, and a driving backline, this record conjures up the spirit of the great loose 70s bands like the Faces while offering Bettye an urgent, vital setting for her razor-sharp vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Still Want to Be Your Baby (Take Me Like I Am)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJealousy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Don't Know Me at All\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomebody Pick Up My Pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey Call It Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Time, The\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTalking Old Soldiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore the Money Came (The Battle of Bettye LaVette)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Guess We Shouldn't Talk About That Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986309107933,"sku":"045778687329","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/1132506.jpg?v=1762930787"}],"url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/collections\/bettye-lavette.oembed","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
