Betty Fox grew up in a large family, holding hands with her many cousins as they sang four and five part harmonies, her grandmother standing behind her and Uncle Fred pounding on the piano. She began performing in a church play at the age of four and never looked back.

After honing her craft and absorbing the rich musical landscape surrounding her, Fox released her debut album, Too Far Gone. Lovers of blues, soul, and funk from around the world took notice of this electric vocalist, songwriter and not-to-be-missed performer, and critics sang her praises. In June 2015, her sophomore album Slow Burn once again received unanimous raves from fans, critics, and enthusiasts around the world.

With her assured swagger, unwavering talent, and trademark raw-but-radiant vocals, Betty has become a force to be reckoned with. Fox’s latest album, Peace In Pieces, represents an evolutionary milestone in her career trajectory as she steps into breakout success. Recorded at the soulfully iconic FAME Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and backed by legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame organist Spooner Oldham as well as the highly acclaimed FAME horn section, this impassioned album is brimming with honesty, and spotlights her trademark, unapologetically raw-but-radiant vocals.

Anyone who slipped Too Far Gone into a player without having seen Betty Fox would never believe the voice flowing out of their speakers belongs to a lady as young as Betty. Her polished style and vocal maturity belie Betty’s tender age. Ms. Fox stunned the crowd at Dunedin Wines the Blues and many there rushed to snap up her CD. When “Take Your Time” opened the disc with Betty’s moaning and purring vocals they most likely got goose bumps. I do. The musical style is a preview of the entire album as the song meanders from funky to jazzy with a strong dose of R&B. “You’re Losing Me”, one of only two covers, offers more funkiness in a faster tempo while the slow, jazzy lines and Fox’s soaring delivery of “Down” are downright hypnotizing.
There must be something in the Tampa Bay area water which accounts for so many talented guitarists in the area and Josh Nelms ranks among the most phenomenal. He’s no shredder but rather allows the notes to float out of his six-string with fluidity and superb phrasing. “Dirty Soul” is a prime example. On that slow burner Betty dirties up her voice by singing through a harp microphone for an interesting effect. “Maybe Next Lifetime”, an emotion-filled ballad showcasing the writing prowess of Fox, gives Nelms another chance to shine.
Betty brings in a couple of guest artists in the form of veteran Tampa Bay harp master T.C. Carr for “Goodbye” and 2012 IBC finalist Selwyn Birchwood who adds his tasty guitar work to “No Other Man.” But Ms. Fox saved the best for last with the title track. “Too Far Gone” is a slower classic Blues piece where Betty stretches out and Nelms lights up the strings while bass man Matt Walker and drummer Aaron Fowler lay down a taut rhythm. This album deserves Best New Artist Debut recognition. It is seriously that good! ~Tom Carter, Suncoast Blues Society President
