Lisa Germano: Turning into Betty
In some places Lisa Germano’s 1998 album Slide lightens the mood when compared with her previous full-length releases. Turning into Betty, allegedly about becoming her mother, is the most obvious of this. The beauty of this song is borne through its simple melodies, but Lisa mutates them with clambering percussion, mournful strings and occasional distorted guitars.
The live version heard on Extra CD for Pig is better because it cuts away this musical confusion, rendering with just organ and voice, making it strangely less humorous.
