Bettye LaVette and Drive-By Truckers collaborate on this one-of-a-kind record, filled with mini-dramas about life, love and survival. Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, The Scene Of The Crime is a blistering mix of anguished soul and greasy rock & roll, laced with swampy guitars, Spooner Oldham's slippery Wurlitzer piano and Bettye's razor sharp voice in the forefront.

2008 release; produced by David Barbe, Patterson Hood & Bettye LaVette
