5.0 out of 5 stars Those wonderful voices and that banjo of Carols, May 13, 2002

First time I heard these girls, I was totally blown away. Their sound is so unique. What harmony! Could sit and listen to them forever and forever. That accordion is haunting. And Carol with that clawhammer banjo and that voice of hers! Wow. These girls are all truly truly talented. And they are super human beings. I have just about worn out this CD. I have an autographed 8 X 10 picture of them hanging in a place of honor. You definitely won't nor could you possibly be disappointed with any song on the cd. Chris and that fiddle can take you somewhere if you close your eyes. Laura on the bass. And best of all, you know they enjoy making this music for us. Such sonwriting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Country/Bluegrass music, June 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rising (Audio CD)

Well make that country, bluegrass, folk, you name it. These ladies cover a wide range, which makes for a great album. This is one of the few country bands being really innovative. It's nice to see artist crossing boundaries in the name of good music. My favorite off this CD is "Real As A Dream" but their cover of "If I Needed You" is fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Sound, April 5, 2002

By 

"[e-mail]" (Fall Creek, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rising (Audio CD)

My wife was tending to a patient at the local hospital when he offered her this CD. He said he's the "proud father" of one of the members of the band. We fell in love with the CD immediately. Now we fight over who gets to listen to it on the way to & from work.

This isn't a hit & miss album like most are today. Every track has it's own unique vocals and sounds; some of the best blue grass I've enjoyed. Highly recommended. Can't wait for their next album!
