Bettye LaVette - Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook (Audio CD - 2010)

Bettye LaVette brings the British Invasion home to its American R&B roots on Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook. The album is a 13 song journey concluding right where the very idea for Interpretations started: Bettye’s visceral rendition of The Who’s Love Reign O er Me from the 2008 Kennedy Center Honors, which appears here as a bonus track. That performance showcased for a national television audience what her devoted fanbase already knew: Bettye LaVette is without parallel as an interpreter of popular song. The success of this performance lead to another astonishing moment on the national stage, her duet of Sam Cooke’s Change Is Gonna Come with Jon Bon Jovi at the Obama Inaugural Concert. Bettye decided to explore more of the repertoire that had brought her all this attention. Bettye inhabits these songs, revitalizes them and exposes the humanity that makes these 13 tracks not just pop songs, but enduring works of art.
