Fantastic 12.......2006-11-10

This has got to be one of Bettye's best releases. It is very seldom I like every track on a disc. There isn't one song I'm not happy with. Of course, I do have a few favorites: Forecast, Serves Him Right, and When the Blues Catch Up With You...WOW!

Betty LaVette is all that and a bag of chips........2006-08-27

I was lloking at Blues Divas, and heard this little bitty women rocking, "It serves him right". I had never heard of her, but am glad that I tuned in to hear her blow. You don't hear voices like hers anymore. We continue to hear what I call the screaming me mes, Mariah, Janet, etc. This wpman can truly sing. If you have never heard this songstress sing, you haven't heard the blues. If you are feeling low, she will make you feel that she understands your pain. Give a sister a listen as this sister can truly sing. Yea.

Best Yet.For Bettye Lavette.......2005-10-23

This is this best recorded work yet by this veteran artist.Check out the track "Thru the Winter". This gives me goose bumps every time I hear it Most of the songs on the CD were written especially for Bettye by the producer Dennis Walker and they are a perfect fit This album simply oozes SOUL and. I'm so happy that after almost 40 years of recording Bettye is finally getting the recognition she deserves.

Soulful Blues.......2004-01-17

If you like to listen to blues with lost of electric guitar and a woman with a beautiful soulful voice singing the lyrics. Then you'll probably rate this album 5 stars.
A little bit less of the electric guitar would have been my preference, hence the 4 stars.
Nevertheless, this is a great album.

Most of the songs were (co)written by Dennis Walker who also worked with Robert Cray. A version of Right Next Door is on this disc I haven't been able to make a dicision yet as to which version I like best.
The songs all have their own caracter. You won't get bored feeling they all sound alike.

One last comment, the album is called: A Woman Like Me

Flat Out Fantastic.......2003-02-28

If you have wondered where the great voices have gone, get a hold of this CD and wonder no more. Bettye LaVette sounds better than ever and the years have only served to give her greater command of what has always been a great set of pipes. Her voice is a magical mix of silk and sandpaper that grabs you and hits you deeply. The arrangements and productions are top notch, with nothing superfluous, and they serve as the perfect setting for the stunning vocals.

This is not a "soul" CD. This is not an "R&B" CD. This is a simply a GREAT CD.
