Epitaph

with one eye on the intimate concept albums frank sinatra invented at mid '50s capitol, and the other on the gritty yet sophisticated soul records produced at atlantic in the '60s, 'i've got my own hell to raise' offers a carefully selected batch of ten songs that tell one story: bettye lavette's. choosing only songs written by women artists, she spins the tale of a woman in a world where men make the choices. the songs may be from aimee mann, lucinda williams, fiona apple, dolly parton and joan armatrading etc, but the transcendent whole is lavette's alone. though nearing 60 and slight of frame, lavette unleashed a voice of volcanic power, focused and guided by a theatrical sensibility. she creates moments of painful intimacy, relying on the supple phrasing she developed from studying such masters as frank sinatra. the album was produced by los angeles musician joe henry. on anti / epitaph.
