Thanks so much, and I hope you'll follow us on LinkedIN! Glad you like Bettye, the record that song comes form is called "I Got My Own Hell To Raise" and it's covers of songs written by women. "Joy" was written by Lucinda Williams, and Bettye also does a feral cover of "Sleep to Dream" by Fiona Apple. Worth checking out.

YES and all of her music is like that! One of my other favs is "I Still Want to Be Your Baby" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wazhMURzS8
