Bettye LaVette, five-time Grammy Award nominee and inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, unveils her new album Blackbirds, from Verve Records. This album brings Bettye back to her roots, honoring her heritage by covering songs from the great women who came before her. LaVette herself took charge of the artistic direction of this record. Her interpretations of 'Drinking Again' by Dinah Washington, 'I Hold No Grudge' by Nina Simone, 'Strange Fruit' by Billie Holiday, 'Save Your Love For Me' by Nancy Wilson, and many others, are delivered in LaVette's rich and raspy tone and with her signature Blues touch.
