Chris Robinson Brotherhood continues to engage new fans with their psychedelic soul, captivating in the live setting with all out performances. When you want to capture a live performance for an official release, you need someone at the helm who knows how to convert that raw performance energy into something that sounds both refined and energetic. For the CRB, they found the perfect engineer: Betty Cantor-Jackson.

After spending countless years taping shows with the Grateful Dead (known for her famed Betty Boards), Cantor-Jackson has produced the Betty’s Blends series for the CRB. Today, the band has announced the third volume of the series, Betty’s Blends, Vol. 3: Self-Rising, Southern Blends, due out on May 5th via Silver Arrow Records. The recording is taken from a series of performances through the Southeast, including stops in Atlanta, Raleigh and Charleston in November 2015, captured and mixed by Cantor-Jackson herself.

Says Robinson in a press release, “With Betty, we trust her sonic sensibilities and give her the space and freedom to do what the woman does, and what she does is beautiful and unique. It’s the stuff rock n’ roll dreams and recordings are made of. Viva la Betty!”

To get the party started, the band has shared their take on “The Music’s Hot.” Listen to Betty’s blended take, below.
