Beschreibung .........................
In der Motown-Ära von Detroit geboren, unterschrieb Bettye Lavette zahlreiche Plattenverträge mit Atlantic, Epic usw. und trotz ihrer unglaublichen Stimme schaffte sie es irgendwie nie eine Pause einzulegen. Nachdem sie Jahrzehnte lang in relativer Dunkelheit gearbeitet hatte, wurde sie schließlich in den letzten 10 Jahren bekannt, als das einflussreiche Indie-Label Label Anti (Tom Waits, Mavis Staples, Calexico, etc.) sie fand und sie schließlich in die Öffentlichkeit brachte. Seitdem hat sie eine fantastische Karriere gemacht, tourte weltweit, trat mit Bon Jovi bei Barack Obamas Einweihung auf und erhielt unglaubliche Auszeichnungen für eine Karriere-Hommage an das Who in den USA Kennedy Center Honors, die Pete Townsend und Roger Daltrey hatten buchstäblich in Tränen. Things Hat Changed, LaVettes neues Album, ist ganz ihren Versionen von Bob Dylans Kompositionen gewidmet. Nie zuvor hat LaVette ein ganzes Album dem Material eines Songwriters gewidmet. Things Have Changeed umfasst mehr als fünf Jahrzehnte Dylan-Songs, von 1964 unsterblich "The Times Sie sind AChangin" bis zu "Ist nicht Talkin", der epische letzte Track auf seinem 2006 Album Modern Times.

Rezension:
Wer nach diesem Werk der 72jährigen Soul-Legende ernsthaft noch ein weiteres Dylan-Cover-Album aufnehmen will, sollte sich besser etwas einfallen lassen. Denn das hier ist schon ein sehr, sehr großer Wurf. Der oscarprämierte Titelsong steht zu beginn; die Kraft, die LaVette und ihre Band ihm verleihen, jagt einem einen Schauer nach dem anderen über den Rücken. Überhaupt, die Band: Der Groove ist der klassischer Soul-Singles, aber der Punch erinnert an frühen Hip Hop: In your face! LaVette läßt keinen Zweifel an der Dringlichkeit der Botschaften, seien sie politischer oder privater Natur. Einen Song wie "It Ain't Me, Babe" meint man doch allmählich in allen seinen Facetten zu kennen, doch hier wird etwas vollkommen Neues daraus. Unter wiederum ganz anderen Vorzeichen, aber nicht weniger radikal gilt das dann auch für "Political World", mit auf den Punkt gespielten Gitarren-Fills von Mr. Keith Richards! "What Was It You Wanted" wird souverän auf Marvin Gaye-Terrain geführt; selbst "The Times They Are A-Changin'" erkennt man eigentlich nur am Text, obwohl man nicht behaupten kann, LaVette täte dem Song Gewalt an. Wirklich spannend wird es, wenn LaVette sich Songs aussucht, die man bislang kaum zu den Höhepunkten im Dylanschen Gesamtwerk gerechnet hatte. "Emotionally Yours" etwa, in einem rein akustischen Arrangement, wird zur von innen brennenden Soul-Ballade; auch "Seeing The Real You At Last" (ebenfalls von "Empire Burlesque") strahlt wie nie zuvor. Einen Song, der es nicht wert wäre, einzeln herausgepickt zu werden, gibt es hier nicht; doch das wollen wir anderen überlassen. Dieses Tribute-Album hat es in sich. Und hängt die Meßlatte für derartige Projekte schwindelerregend hoch. (2018)

*** Gatefold Cover
Dylan mit Soul
Ein brandneues Album von Bettye LaVette: Mit »Things Have Changed« widmet sich die US-amerikanische Soulsängerin 2018 einem großen Vorbild und seinem Werk: Folklegende und Literaturnobelpreisträger Bob Dylan.
Insgesamt zwölf Stücke aus Dylans gesamtem Katalog hat sich LaVette dafür vorgenommen, denen sie ihre ganz persönliche Neuinterpretation verpasst. Mit dabei sind Klassiker wie »The Times They Are A-Changin’«, »Do Right To Me Baby«, »It Ain’t Me Babe«, »Political World« und viele mehr. Das gesamte Tracklisting von »Things Have Changed« finden sie im Folgenden.
Unterstützung erhält die Soulikone auf ihrem neuen Album ebenfalls. Keine Geringeren als Keith Richards, Trombone Shorty und Do Unto Others sind in jeweils einem Stück mit von der Partie.
Um die Produktion von »Things Have Changed« kümmerte sich Steve Jordan (Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, BB King, Neil Young).
Eine atemberaubende, ganz persönliche und soulige Hommage an die Legende Bob Dylan: »Things Have Changed« von Bettye LaVette.

Description .......................
Born into the Motown era of Detroit, Bettye Lavette signed numerous record deals with Atlantic, Epic, etc. and, despite her incredible voice, she somehow never caught a break. After toiling in relative obscurity for decades, she finally rose to prominence in the last 10 years when the influential indie tastemaker label, Anti (Tom Waits, Mavis Staples, Calexico, etc), found her and finally brought her into the public eye. Since then, she's had a fantastic career, touring globally, dueting with Bon Jovi at Barack Obama's inauguration and receiving incredible accolades for a career-making tribute she did to the Who at the United States Kennedy Center Honors, which had Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey literally in tears. Things Have Changed, LaVette's new album, is entirely dedicated to her versions of Bob Dylan's compositions. Never before, though, has LaVette devoted an album entirely to the material of one songwriter. Things Have Changed spans more than five decades of Dylan songs, from 1964's immortal "The Times They Are AChangin'" up to "Ain't Talkin'," the epic final track on his 2006 album Modern Times.
