Bette Smith is a Bed-Stuy native -- and Southern soul
seems to course through her veins. At least, that’s how it sounds
on her debut album, produced by Drive By Truckers’ Matt Patton.
Smith is gifted with a unique, almost carbonized singing voice, but
that’s not the only part of her music that stands out. Smith is
able to embody her songs in a way that will send little thrills up
and down your spine -- assuming you aren’t transported along with
her.
Note:This episode was recorded before the Breonna Taylor
ruling, though Tyler’s song and album absolutely speaks for itself
and is regrettably more relevant than ever. I linked to Tyler’s
YouTube message in the show notes.
