Music Reviews
Editorial Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.78) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "LaVette's nuanced singing evokes prime Tina Turner with even more command."
Spin (p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[On the] slower songs by Elton John and Uncle Ray, the band trades slide guitar for pedal steel, and LaVette's fierce voice drops to a whisper."
Uncut (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[there is] a supreme revitalization of her deep-seated powers evident here....She has music to match the raw roar of her voice..."
CMJ (p.14) - "[W]hen she grinds it up, her growl grabs you by your meager larynx."
Down Beat (p.68) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The aptly titled THE SCENE OF THE CRIME finds her returning to Fame STudios in Muscle Shoals....The songs look back on life, and the singer makes them sound definitive."
Vibe (p.96) - "[P]owerful, affirmative....A collection of semi-obscure covers...as filtered through the experiences of an equally obscure, 60-something soul survivor."
No Depression (p.92) - "Her voice is jagged and rusty, weary, but filled with life too, hard as new-forged steel, and with no intention of going easy."
