Where the hell have I been?? How could I never have heard of Bettye LaVette in my 46 years? A friend loaned me her latest CD (The Scene of the Crime) this weekend and I was literally blown away. Amy, honey, you good 'n all, but wow... Check her out and buy the CD ASAP. Listen to the start of Somebody Pick Up My Pieces here:

For Once, then, Something (by Robert Frost)
Others taunt me with having knelt at well-curbs
Always wrong to the light, so never seeing
Deeper down in the well than where the water
Gives me back in a shining surface picture
My myself in the summer heaven, godlike
Looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs.
Once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
I discerned, as I thought, beyond the picture,
Through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
Something more of the depths—and then I lost it.
Water came to rebuke the too clear water.
One drop fell from a fern, and lo, a ripple
Shook whatever it was lay there at bottom,
Blurred it, blotted it out. What was that whiteness?
Truth? A pebble of quartz? For once, then, something.

A discovery indeed! I trust you noticed that one of her only 2 Canadian shows will be in Halifax in mid-September...
Duly noted! She'd be wild to see live!
She's got a great bluesy sound! I can see great things happening for her.
Mark :-)
Looks like she's been around for a spell. Thanks for the intro.
