Bettye LaVette: Highline Ballroom, New York, NY

WAKING UP every morning now with the Blues, so catching the divine Lady Bettye LaVette's recent Manhattan show at the Highline was a foregone conclusion. Still on the voyage of her "rediscovery" triggered by I've Got My Own Hell To Raise, Ms. LaVette is back on the road with a crack band and her new release, The Scene of the Crime (Anti-), produced by those foremost southern sons (& daughter) from Drive-By Truckers at Muscle Shoals' fabled Fame Studios.
