New Bettye LaVette this spring

Soul singer Bettye LaVette has a new album of covers that will hit the shelves May 25. The thirteen songs on Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook span the British invasion era,  from The Beatles to Elton John. (I'm very anxious to hear her version of "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.") Her 2007 grammy-nominated album, Scene of the Crime , was produced by The Drive-By Truckers and is considered a critical success making many reviewers' top lists for that year.
