4.0 out of 5 stars What They Sound Like...., November 27, 2004

By

It's the gorgeous steady rhythms and the hook of sensual phrasings that lure you to this CD!

It's the city corner where the swelling rhythm section fills the street air and beckons you to groove to them in tandem.

It's the wish that these were, indeed, friends of yours. We can all pretend, though, can't we?

5.0 out of 5 stars Whether Los Angeles or Oz, it's all "the heartland", April 26, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Fragile Illusion (Audio CD)

I picked these gals up 'cause someone on Amazon recommended them on the product page for Kasey Chambers' folk-country release, "Barricades & Brickwalls."

And you know what? That listener was right! Lotsa good stuff here. Some songs are tradtional country, while others are very razzy and almost pop ("Fire Touch the Sky). But it all works.

The music supervisors of Sandy Bullock's next film should take note and hire these friends for the her next movie soundtrack!

Don't know why these folksters don't have a cover photo up for this CD, but check out their debut CD cover, "What If..." These women seem to be under the radar, but probably not for long. In the meantime, they are MY undiscovered musical secret!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't help dancin'!, April 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Fragile Illusion (Audio CD)

Just saw these folks live last night at Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles, where they funked up the place! Let me tell you, it's not often you see a sexy babe playing an enormous djembe drum and singing like a countrified Cyndi Lauper! I had to dance!

The other lead singer, Donna, sang "Don't Watch Me Cryin' off Fragile Illusion and it was a COMPLETELY different vibe! Very sultry, very traditional guitar-based country.

The players in this band were so sharp. The mandolin/violin player added so much aural depth to the songs!

I bought this CD at their show and I loved it! It pretty much ranges all over the place, genre-speaking, but I like that cafeteria-experience with my music.

Favorites: "Hit That Jive Jack," a Manhattan Transfer-type doo-wop, "Fire (Touch the Sky)" and "Happy For You."

I gotta say, the spark and energy and multi-instrument harmonies really do translate from the stage to the studio on this CD, and that's a good thing!
