Betty Davis
Light In The Attic
By James Calemine
Born in Mabry, North Carolina, Betty Davis ranks as a classic diva. She married Miles Davis and turned him onto Sly Stone, Jimi Hendrix and various other funk greats. Davis, a songwriter before she met Miles, wrote a hit for the Chambers Brothers in 1964. She recruited Sly’s bassist Larry Graham and drummer Greg Errico, The Pointer sisters, Jerry Garcia’s sidekick Merle Saunders and various others for her self-titled first album originally released in 1973.
This Light In The Attic reissue contains 3 extra songs not included on the original. The opener, “If I’m Lucky I Might Get Picked Up” epitomizes Davis’ unrestrained and sultry voice. Her band proves a versatile, backstreet group that accentuates her every line in appropriate fashion. “Walkin’ Up The Road”, a gritty bluesfunk, creeps along in a dangerous way, which makes it easy to see why Miles Davis wrote in his book she was “too wild and crazy” for him.
The “Anti-Love” song indicates female power at it’s finest. Girls, here’s your messiah. “Your Man My Man” emits an infectious groove behind her duplicitous lyrics. “Ooh Yea” makes one realize even the greatest talents are doomed to obscurity. “Steppin’ In Her I. Miller Shoes” contends as another ode to the women’s liberation. Davis’ voice resonates with perfection the depths of her wandering soul.
“Game is My Middle Name” stands as an incandescent rock and roll song. “In The Meantime” reveals a softer, more vulnerable side to Davis, and one can’t help but fall in love with that girl. Great song. The three bonus tracks—“Come Take Me”, “You Won’t See Me In The Morning”, “I Will Take That Ride”—continue the late-night invasion of the booty snatchers and free your mind and your ass will follow sentiment. This reissue demonstrates Betty Davis’ career represented that of one cursed diamond.

A ugg boots clearance recent survey found that one out of five Americans teenage or older want an iPad. No wonder Apple is selling three million iPads a month. It's the fastest-selling single product in the history of consumer electronics. Most buyers are choosing an iPad as a supplement to their current computers -- for watching movies in bed, like I do, or reading books in my easy chair when there's nothing good on TV ugg boots clearance. The iPad pretty much has the personal side of computing covered. But what about the computer side? What about the tasks you do on your laptop or on your desktop computer ugg boots clearance? But I'm convinced that many of you would find the iPad a delightful replacement for a typical laptop computer, whether a Windows PC or Mac, if you mostly use a laptop for three typical functions -- e-mail, social networking (through Facebook, for example) and Web browsing ugg boots clearance. What about occasional word processing? Apple's word processor, called Pages, is outstanding on the iPad. (A bonus: It also works easily with Microsoft Word documents, both reading them and saving them.) If you need software that can show and create PowerPoint presentations, iPad software called Keynote can do that nicely. There's even an Excel-compatible program called Numbers ugg boots clearance. All three of these productivity programs -- called apps -- sell for only $10 each. Getting something equivalent to Microsoft Office for only $30 is surely a steal ugg boots clearance. There are many, either free or a couple of dollars, at the App Store ugg boots outlet. Could an iPad be your only computer? Not for long. It gets updates via free software called iTunes running on a standard computer. When you plug the iPad into the computer using a USB cable, iTunes transfers the updates to your iPad ugg boots outlet. (iTunes is also used to add music, books, podcasts, university lectures, TV shows and movies to an iPad.) But if my experience is a guide, the iPad can function well as a replacement for a laptop. If you buy one, be sure to get the Keyboard Dock and the Camera Connection Kit. Photos look spectacular on the 10-inch screen ugg boots clearance.
