Red Betty - Sister Rubber Limbs

Issue #20                                                                                                                   Jul. '00

Sister Rubber Limbs was released in 1998 and how it remained under the radar is a total mystery and abhorrence to me. I didn’t get to hear Sister Rubber Limbs until after listening to Red Betty's 2 release Swim (released in 2000) for sometime. Hitting the play button a bunch of things quickly vied for my attention. The first was the similar Byrds-esque guitar, but this time instead of being in the forefront, it’s content to lay back and reside just below the drums and bass as another guitar takes the lead with a bit more crunch.

Here the guitar still soars while Yahz’s vocals once again enter and take control, floating above the band she elegantly steps them into that precision that is so rightfully (and continually) prevalent on Swim. While Swim provides a more soulful background to Yahz’s angelic vocals, Sister Rubber Limbs gets down with a more powerful lilt.

This lilt is courtesy of a different backing band than that of the current (Swim) band. Sporting former Psychedelic Furs guitarist John Ashton (guitars and in the producers seat), Michael DiLalla (guitars), Why Not Jansveld (bass), and Chad LaRue (drums). Still, it is Yahz whose songs and vocals conduct these two different line-ups to a harmonious existence that can be reveled from an almost spiritual level.

And so it goes. A full 10 songs of blistering pop rock that grabs you and takes you soaring as it dances you through the hills and valleys of romance.

When music dances you, that’s great pop rock. Whether it sways you or slams you, or for that matter do both, if it picks you up and carries you away - If it dances you, then you have for a brief moment in time, a slice of heaven.
