Album Notes

If you love classic soul or R&B, you\'re in for a treat...

An overnight success in 2005 some 40 years after her debut single, soul diva Bettye LaVette recorded this album for Motown in 1982. Teamed with ace producer Steve Buckingham, she cut these ten songs with the cream of Nashville and Memphis musicians. Critically acclaimed at the time of its release but totally at odds with what Motown was then recording, “Tell Me A Lie” sounds as fresh today as it did when originally released.

Bettye\'s two Anti albums have brought her to a whole new audience as she mixes her soul sensibilities with a contemporary edge. Rediscover her pure soul roots on this classic, released for the first time on CD.

Remastered in 24 bit from the original analog masters. 12 page booklet.

Released by arrangement with and manufactured for us by Universal Music Enterprises.
