█ Well, another album review. This one is so good I just had to do a review of
█ it. Bettysoo is going down as my discovery of the year, how I managed to miss
█ her prior 3 albums is beyond me, but you can bet I will be exploring her back
█ catalog after hearing this wonderful album.
█
█ Now first let's get the obvious out of the way, Bettysoo....that is her name,
█ in her own words "I guess Asian-American songwriters aren't that common. At
█ least, not in Texas". Well songwriting and singing of this caliber aren't
█ that common anywhere honey.
█
█ If I had to try to explain her sound well I would say she has the voice of an
█ angel, similar to Allison Krauss, but with a swagger and honesty that is more
█ closely related to early Lucinda Williams. Of course some of that
█ Lucinda-ness may be attributed to producer extraordinaire Gurf Morlix (who
█ has also produced Lucinda, Slaid Cleaves, & Ray Wylie Hubbard just to name a
█ few). Here he pulls guitar duty as well as production giving the album his
█ trademark "grit and groove" sound which matches seamlessly with Bettysoo's
█ vocal stylings. Songs like "Never Knew No Love" and "Get Clean" showcase this
█ perfectly. With Gurfs trademark guitar and organ sound blending with
█ Bettysoo's words and voice like Bailey's blends with Coffee.
█
█ But don't think it's all "grit and groove", no there is also a softer tender
█ side to this album. With songs like "Just Another Lover", "What We've Got",
█ and "Forever" echoing not just the aforementioned Allison Krauss, but artists
█ like Eliza Gilkyson and Nancy Griffith as well.
█
█ The album closes with the song "Next Big Thing", which is not only a
█ beautiful song, but I hope a little bit of foreshadowing for Bettysoo's
█ career.
█
█ Recommended if you like: Lucinda Williams, Eliza Gilkyson, Kasey Chambers,
█ Allison Krauss, Nancy Griffith, Kathleen Edwards, Pieta Brown, Patty
█ Griffin...
█
█ Don't forget to support the artists! We did.
