Bettye LaVette at Arrow Street Arts

Bettye LaVette is a soul singer whose career is one of the great slow-burn redemption stories in American music: a hit at sixteen in 1962, then four decades of near-misses and shelved albums, then a full rediscovery in the 2000s with I've Got My Own Hell to Raise. She is an interpreter more than a stylist, capable of taking a Beatles or Dylan song apart and rebuilding it around a voice that sounds like it has been through everything, because it has.
