This is truly an upbeat, fun, beautifully mastered piece. I think the best of their albums over all. It's one I never tire of hearing and play it constantly. The quality of this album is best heard at top volume. Just great fun! I wish they had kept with this type of venue; their other albums don't come up to this excitement.

This review is from: Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle (Audio CD)

This disc is an essential for anybody with an ear. The material and production values have held up beautifully over time; and the performances are first rate: the layers of harmony still beguile after all these years. These are unique artists. It is really tough to pigeon-hole their style, but why bother? This effort merits inclusion in any list of great [...] music - it is great stuff.

This review is from: Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle (Audio CD)

I learned about Kate and Anna about 30 years ago by reading about them in Rollingstone Magazine. We've never looked back. For me, they are the best. Their harmonies are beautiful and every song on the CD is better than the one that I just listened to.
If you are new fan of K&A, listen to the song samples.
