BETTYSOO and CHARLIE FAYE at Momo's 4-21-09

Since I was already downtown for The Greencards, decided to head over to Momo's afterward to catch BettySoo and then Charlie Faye, $5 cover. Both were playing with their bands.
This was a tough night. Momo's had a leak that day so they put a new floor in along with a sealer. Therefore, they had all the windows open trying to air the place out. Problem was it was 90 degrees outside...so along with nasty smelling it was also sweltering in there.
BettySoo had a different drummer as the Mailman was out of town. Jeff Plankenhorn was back on lead guitar, in place of Will Sexton. They're both great so it really doesn't matter. She played much from the new cd which is coming out June 9th. It's called Heat Sin Water Skin. It is going to be terrific.
Charlie Faye had a 5 piece band. She's on acoustic, a lead guitarist, Will Sexton on rhythm mainly, a bass and drums. Turns out the drummer who filled in with BettySoo plays with Charlie.
Hadn't seen her before. I would say folk/country rock with an emphasis on rocking. I really liked her. Her voice is strong and has attitude. I look forward to hearing her more often. Honestly, it was hard to concentrate on the music it was so hot and nasty in there.
