Bettye Swann
1968 - 1970
Capitol Records
This Bettye Swann collection contains all the songs from her two late-sixties classic albums and with her tender, delicate voice and a quality mix of soul, blues and country material, is a joy from start to finish. Swann’s version of New Orleans classic ‘Tell It Like It Is’ is a searing soul classic that somehow perfectly encapsulates the yearning of a broken heart in under three minutes while her take on ‘Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye’ might just be the saddest song you’ll ever hear. Simply gorgeous.
