Summary: <p>Underdog soul singer Bettye LaVette has been crafting her own kind of songbook for 50 years now, and she's brought all her talent and experience to bear on two new projects: her memoir, 'A Woman Like Me,' and an album, called 'Thankful N' Thoughtful.' On the album, Bettye explores the work of Tom Waits, Sly Stone, Patty Griffin, The Black Keys and more. She performed a few of the songs live, and told some funny and fascinating stories during a recent Studio A session with FUV's Rita Houston.</p>
