Two free Bettye LaVette downloads

Speaking of Joe Henry, I should mention another album he produced: Bettye LaVette’s “I’ve Got My Own Hell to Raise” (2005).

It’s a concept album, with Ms. LaVette – an admired soul-music veteran – covering songs by admired female singer-songwriters (including Rosanne Cash, Fiona Apple and Lucinda Williams).

You can get two FREE MP3s off that album by following this link to Download.com.
