Five-time Grammy nominee and Blues Hall of Famer Bettye LaVette releases her new album, ‘Blackbirds,’ on Verve Records. This album brings Bettye back to her roots, honoring her heritage by covering songs by the great women who came before her. LaVette herself handled the artistic direction of this record. Her interpretations of Dinah Washington's 'Drinking Again,' Nina Simone's 'I Hold No Grudge,' Billie Holiday's 'Strange Fruit,' Nancy Wilson's 'Save Your Love For Me,' and many others, are delivered in LaVette's rich, raspy tone with her characteristic bluesy touch.
