   Cool digi-card Juddster. Although I must say that you seriously low-balled Jules on that Clooney deal!I haven’t stopped listening to Bettye’s new set for the past ten days. Man, what a record! Inspiring in so many different ways.For those keen, you can find Bettye’s Tiny Desk performance, along with a review at:http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127013277But do yourself a favour and get the whole set. There’s not a dud in sight.

   @horringbone Kipster! Great to hear from you and thanks for posting that link to the NPR/Bettye video. My iPad is a nimble device, but my Internet connections are limiting at times when I want to act nimb-ly.Yes…Bettye’s new set is very much album worthy and should be listened to start to finish, as intended, multiple times at first go.George…who needs him..

   @ozzybeef Luke, you said “life changer”; it is. Bettye gives these songs new lives. I can’t STOP listening. I am seeing her on Thursday here in London.Get “Scene of the `Crime” and “I’ve Got My Own Hell to Raise” as well. Both should be on the boil, full time.

   Yeh I picked up most of the discs she had on amazon after you sent me some of her tunes that one time.The live disc “Let Me Down Easy” is particularly choice. Also found a live concert recording from 2006 in which she shows absolutely no mercy.
