Child of the Seventies was recorded at the famous Muscle Shoals and would have been Bettye Lavette's first full length album. Atlantic Records decided not to release it. Twenty years later a record company in France leased the album from Atlantic and released it to near universal praise. This album could have established Bettye as a major soul singer at the time.

In 2005 she released her next album
I've Got My Own Hell to Raise. This woman has an amazing voice and makes these songs written by others her own.

And today her newest album, recorded in Muscle Shoals, a return to the scene of the crime, was released. She recorded this album with the Drive by Truckers providing musical help.
