Bettye Lavette

"Bettye Lavette has always been a wonderful singer – I have been a huge fan for many years. To my delight and surprise she recorded an amazing version of “Talking Old Soldiers” – a song which nobody else has covered, and made it her own. Now she has recorded “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me” and has done exactly the same." - Elton John

"When you hear a voice like Bettye LaVette’s there’s a sense of transportation (NOT to a penal colony!), but a certain freedom of movement and emotion, which is rare. A great record. Put me in the fan club!" - Keith Richards

"You've got a singer here who is willing to stretch and not content to live in the safety zone. " - Elvis Costello

"Is there any soul singer who brings more guts, more conviction and more emotion to her singing?" - NPR
