Blame Betty

Big Betty's Alright!

(self)




Blame  Betty's members represent a noble, albeit undersung, phenomenon. Much of consequence can be attributed to rank-and-file Rock'n'Roll standard bearers. They slog away in bars and modest clubs, not arenas, but are as close to the spirit of the music as is humanly possible. Perhaps intimacy breeds connection to the sound, one that seems to diminish as audiences swell and mass spatially further from bands. It is a hale manifestation and one meriting plaudits whenever espied.

Recommended: "Rock Betty," "Love Is Comin' For Ya," "706 (Sam's Kitchen)," "Rockabetty Boogie," "Hot Rod Movin'," "Smoked Paella"
