There’s not much about BettySoo that isn’t surprising. Sometimes, people are surprised just to see this Kerrville New Folk winner take the stage. Plain-faced, petite ("five feet short on good days," as she puts it), and freckly, people don’t have any idea what to expect. "I guess Asian-American singer-songwriters aren’t all that common," she comments, "at least, not in Texas." In fact, she regularly gets greeted after her shows with praise comparing her vocals to everyone from Ruthie Foster to Sheryl Crow to Joan Baez. Then, of course, there’s the whole issue of her name. How did a second-generation Korean end up with such a classic southern name? Is it a stage name? "No," she answers, laughing, "I guess I’m just lucky that way. It’s right there on my birth certificate: Betty Soo Kim. Soo is my dad’s middle name, too. Yep, he’s a boy named Soo." |
