Bettye LaVette - Let Me Down Easy: Bettye LaVette in Memphis (Vinyl)
Looking back on the career of a living legend, Let Me Down Easy: Bettye LaVette in Memphis captures the recordings she made in the 1960s for Silver Fox Records, part of the Sun Records family celebrating 70 years. Blending her northern R&B with southern soul, this remastered retrospective includes tracks like the rocking "He Made a Woman Out of Me", her explosive cover of "Piece of My Heart", and "Let Me Down Easy", which was recently featured by the electronic duo Odesza.
Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the great soul interpreters of her generation," Bettye LaVette is a vocalist who can take any type of song and make it completely her own. Bettye is one of very few of her contemporaries who were recording during the birth of soul music in the 1960s and is still creating vital recordings today. To quote the late, great George Jones: "Bettye is truly a 'singer's singer.'" (Universal)
Tracklist:
A1. He Made a Woman Out of Me
A2. At the Mercy of a Man |
A3. I'm in Love
A4. My Train's Coming In

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
