BruceM Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I recently ran across an article in Pitchfork about Betty Davis:Betty Davis - Nasty Gal review As I said in the title, I'm a little late to this party. This is blistering rock/funk from the 70s, and she also did some recordings for Columbia in the 60s. Look it up if you've never heard of her. And I'll leave you with this clip of Mahalia Barnes & The Soul Mates, featuring Joe Bonamassa covering the song Nasty Gal. They released a cover album a few years ago: I always like discovering "new" old music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeboy Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I know nothing about her and her music..,but the article was intriguing enough for me to rectify that situation.__ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The Betty Davis episode of, “Tales From the Tour Bus”, is very enlightening. She is just as important as Parliament/PFunk in the development of hard funk. She’s NASTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disturber Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I love Betty Davis. She made three albums back in the day and they are worth buying on CD, all three of them. Raw, sexy and funky. If I remember correctly Larry Graham plays bass on the first album, but I don't think he is on the other two. Still, killer musicians on all albums. There is also a lost album that was released in 2009, is it love or desire. Perhaps not as good as the other three, but it's still worth having, (it sure is funky enough). https://www.popmatters.com/118737-betty-davis-nasty-gal-light-in-the-attic-is-it-love-or-desire-light--2496149411.html edit: @RobB Thanks for posting about Tales from the Bus tour. I had forgotten that I needed to watch that. Started to google for the DVD. Then I found the whole series on HBO Nordic. I on my way to buy a six pack of beer and a pizza right now, I'm gonna binge watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 You’ll dig TFTTB. 2 seasons so far and every episode has been excellent. The James Brown 2-parter is a hoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
