1	The Scene of the Crime (2007) more music like this by Bettye LaVette On the surface, it may seem that pairing soul survivor Bettye LaVette with Southern rockers the Drive-By Truckers is a match made in hell, and no one could be blamed for that assumption. Since LaVette singed to Anti for 2005's I've Got My Own Hell to Raise, an album produced by Joe Henry that brought her back into the public eye after more than 30 ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
2	I've Got My Own Hell to Raise (2005) more music like this by Bettye LaVette What can be said about Bettye LaVette that hasn't already been said? Like James Carr before her, LaVette has toiled behind the smoke and glitz of the limelight for decades. Her last regular recording contract was in the 1980s, and she hasn't cracked the R&B Top 20 in over three decades. The 21st century has seen LaVette's activity increase, but it ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $13.39!
3	Let Me Down Easy: In Concert (2000) more music like this by Bettye LaVette This German import captures the essence of Betty Lavette, Detroit's most underrated female singer. Betty approach to recording was similar to the way pugilists Sugar Ray Leonard, and Muhammad Ali approached boxing rounds -- dance and parry the first two minutes or so then crank it up the last 30 seconds. The first two minutes of a song was just a ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
4	A Woman Like Me (2003) more music like this by Bettye LaVette "I can feel the pain, Lord, it's raining in my heart," Bettye LaVette howls on "The Forecast," and it sounds like it. On this stunning comeback -- her first American release in over 20 years -- the feisty soul singer rips through an hour of music with the pent-up hunger of a caged tiger at feeding time. Helped immeasurably by producer/songwriter ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $11.00!
5	The Girls Got Soul (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This 25-track compilation consists solely of Atlantic female-sung soul from the 1960s, concentrating largely on cuts that weren't hits, even when the performers were famous (and not all of these singers were). The only hugely successful Atlantic woman of the 1960s was, of course, Aretha Franklin, and although she has a couple of songs here (the ... see all copies from $17.74! new only from $17.74!
6	The Soul of Detroit (1992) more music like this by Various Artists The Soul of Detroit is sixteen slices of the more energetic productions for Bob West's Lupine label. The late Joe Stubbs' two soulful rantings, "What's My Destiny," and "Hey, Hey," shows why companies sought him out to front groups; Joe sang with the Falcons, One Hundred Proof, the Contours, and the Originals. Eddie Floyd scored big at Stax ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $12.00!
7	Do Your Duty (2006) more music like this by Bettye LaVette Although it produced two medium-sized R&B hits ("He Made a Woman Out of Me" and "Do Your Duty," both on this compilation), Bettye LaVette's time with the Silver Fox and SSS International labels in 1969-1970 was short, yielding just four singles. That's not really enough for a good-value CD reissue compilation, so Sundazed sensibly gathered all ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $18.00!
8	Where the Girls Are, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists A 30-song collection of early and mid-'60s girl group rarities, some previously unreleased, from the vaults of the New York-based Scepter and Musicor labels. This is ephemera that can only be recommended to hard-bitten girl group fans, but if you're in that category there are probably enough goodies here to merit a spin. Chief among these is Diane ... see all copies from $21.90! new only from $21.90!
9	Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures: Taken From Our Vaults, Vol. 3 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The third installment of this well-respected series of (mostly) rare and (mostly) 1960s deep soul maintains the high standards of the previous two releases. The compiler bends just a little in the direction of greater accessibility here by including more names and songs that might actually be known to people with less than a few hundred soul ... see all copies from $21.90! new only from $21.90!
10	Living the Nightlife (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Kent Records has set the standard for various-artists CDs in the U.K., displaying as much care with the packaging as they do compiling the songs, and this compilation features another sterling line-up of soul rarities and classics. Jack Montgomery's excellent "Dearly Beloved," for instance, is worth a fortune on 45, and you'll search long and hard ... see all copies from $21.90! new only from $21.90!
11	Shake Me, Wake Me: A Tribute to Holland-Dozier-Holland (1994) more music like this by Various Artists It's got the latter-day versions of groups like Martha Reeves & the Vandellas and the Contours, not to mention Levi Stubbs leading the "Motorcity All-Stars," but that shouldn't stop anyone from picking up this 20-song collection of new recordings. The artists have held together well, and they do their best to forge a compromise between their early ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $3.00!
12 view cover	The Best of Motorcity Records, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists The Best of MotorCity, Vol. 3 contains 16 selections from the vaults of Ian Levine's disco and soul label, including David Ruffin's "Hurt the One You Love," Freda Payne's "Only Minutes Away," Billy Eckstine's "Got the Big City Blues," the Marvelettes' "Getting into Motion," Chris Clark's "From Head to Toe," the Fifth Dimension's "More Love" and ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!

14 view cover	Go Girl!: Soul Sisters Tellin' It Like It Is (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The concept here is made plain in the title: tough female soul singers, singing about the hard bumps of romance with toughness and independence. If that's what you want, there's plenty of straight talking here. If you're primarily after good late-'60s/early-'70s soul, it delivers that as well. Aside from Aretha Franklin's "Respect," none of these ... see all copies from $19.95! new only from $19.95!
15 view cover	Take Another Little Piece of My Heart (2006) more music like this by Bettye LaVette Hot on the heels of her 2005 comeback recording, I've Got My Own Hell to Raise, Varese Sarabande issues a treasure trove of Bettye LaVette material here. These 13 cuts were recorded in Memphis with producer Lelan Rogers and the Dixie Flyers (starring Jim Dickinson on keyboards, Charlie Freeman on guitar, bassist Tommy McLure, drummer Sammy Jackson ... see all copies from $10.95! new only from $12.85!

17	Nearer to You (1991) more music like this by Bettye LaVette see all copies from $51.44!
18 view cover	It Takes Two, Vol. 1 [RPM] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Subtitled "23 Prime Cuts of Classic 60s Soul and R&B Duets," this couldn't be hailed as a definitive best-of for that sub-genre. Not when there's no Sam & Dave, no Peaches & Herb, and no Righteous Brothers, not to mention part-time duet teams like Otis Redding & Carla Thomas, or Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell. Still, it's a respectable if ... see all copies from $24.79! new only from $24.79!
