    Creative covers are some songs that already have classic lyrics to provide the structure for a great song, but with no guarantee they can be done justice by anyone covering them. Ms. LaVette does a great job making these songs her own. A good tribute to some timeless odes and observations.

    With Things Have Changed, Bettye Lavette hasn't just joined the ranks of first-rate Dylan interpreters, female and male--she's taken her place as leader of the pack.

    Bettye LaVette has been enjoying a remarkable career resurgence in the 21st century, and Things Have Changed demonstrates why--she's as strong and compelling an interpretive vocalist as you're likely to hear in this day and age, and given a set of great songs, she can work magic with ease.

    LaVette, an intense, mesmerising presence throughout.
