00 Sister
Rubber Limbs was released in 1998 and how it remained under the radar is a total
mystery and abhorrence to me. I didnt 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, its 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 Yahzs 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 Yahzs 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, thats 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.
