MORE TO EXPLORE
Her 2005 acclaimed release, I'VE GOT MY OWN HELL TO RAISE, brought well-deserved recognition to this R&B maverick who's been recording since the early 60s. Now comes the almost autobiographical SCENE OF THE CRIME. To make music this raw and direct, Bettye enlisted 'dirty south' rockers the Drive By Truckers as her backup band. 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.
