Free Music Notes for Betty Davis
Free Music Review: Waaay before her time...
Hit: 5 Stars
She's got a voice like black velvet with a scratchy ripping Velcro quality. Back in a time when female singers didn't tell it like it was, she was singing about getting picked up. If you "like it rough," you need this CD. It's 11 tracks and 43 minutes of some of the strongest soul with backing from some of the best players around at the time--including Sly (of the Family Stone) and the Pointer Sisters.
I got this on a suggestion and I'll be buying the rest of Betty's CDs as I get the chance. She's well worth a listen if you love strong R&B.
Betty Davis Poster
Betty married Miles Davis in the late 60s, influencing him with psychedelic rock, introducing the jazz great to Jimi Hendrix and inspiring classic work like "Bitches Brew." She herself had been strongly urged to record by Marc Bolan of T. Rex, and turned down both Eric Clapton and Motown to keep control over her own work and express it as nasty as she wanted to be.Rappers from Ice Cube to Talib Kweil to Ludacris have rhymed over her tracks. This amazingly progressive debut showcases her revolutionary talent and features such gems as "If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up" and "Game Is My Middle Name."
Originally released in 1973, "Betty Davis" was recorded with a who's who of San Francisco stars - from Sly & the Family Stone's rhythm section to backing vocals from Sylvester and the Pointer Sisters, while Sly Stone drummer Greg Errico produced the album.
This deluxe reissue features gorgeous packaging, a treasure trove of previously unreleased bonus tracks, rare photos and archival material, and new notes from Oliver Wang (SoulSides).
