Lavelle White's third album for the Antone's label asks why she isn't as revered as some of Texas' other famous female vocalists. Into the Mystic gathers a dozen old favorites from disparate sources such as the Box Tops ("Soul Deep"), Merle Haggard ("Today I Started Loving You"), and the Edwin Hawkins Singers ("Oh Happy Day") and mixes in five of the Austin blues belter's own soulful compositions. "Livin' for the City" takes the Stevie Wonder hit and redesigns it for White's gutbucket vocals and Guy Forsyth's wicked guitar, while her timely "Computer Blues" isn't far behind on mojo. On an album packed with stellar local players, White and her magnificent voice are the stars.

Today, more than 30 years after she got her humble start in the blues clubs in Houston, Lavelle White sings as well as she ever did, and though she's had time off from the road over the years, she's never stopped singing or writing songs. All of this is apparent with one listen to Miss Lavelle. The dignified manner in which White conducts herself on stage, dressed in flashy outfits and walking about confidently, is something that was instilled in her from an early age. This respect for the stage, or stage presence, that is apparent when Miss Lavelle White performs is something the younger generation of blues players (and many rock & rollers) seem to lack. /Richard Skelly, AllMusic

Eight gals whose natural habitat is the blues bar in all its beery, bedenimed isolation--the malest enclave this side of the men's locker room. Individually they're not immune to the rowdy conservatism that shackles all so-called house-rockin' music, but together they constitute a singular sisterhood: tough and independent, yet--with guidance from the label's cofounder, unflappable Austin oldtimer Angela Strehli--willing to help each other hoe that hard row. The songwriting is high generic, which in bar blues takes effort, and this sampler isn't just a wheat-from-chaff job. It highlights facets of a collective sensibility--earnest or cynical or sluttish or loving or proud, it's always of its world. ~Robert Christgau
