Melody and harmonizing with witty lyrics, December 17, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Three Women (Audio CD)
Great CD! After hearing these three ladies harmonize on public radio, I haunted the music stores to find both their CDs. The music is really fun and definitely woman-friendly. Great singing without a lot of studio tricks. One song, Calm of Your Heart, moves me every time I hear it.

Contemporary folk features ex Dixie Chick, August 6, 2003
This review is from: Three Women (Audio CD)
To those who only know the Dixie Chicks from their popular albums, it may come as a surprise that they already had a fair bit of history before that, including three albums that were very different from their later music. The first two of those albums had a line up that featured the excellent Robin Lynn Macy. I have not heard the first of those albums, but I enjoy the second, Little ol' cowgirl. It is a strange but interesting mix of country and folk music and it is clear in retrospect that there was tension in the group back then. Robin was more interested in folk than country and she was more prominent on the folksy tracks. She quit the Dixie Chicks and left the music business briefly, but was persuaded to join up with Sara Hickman and Patty Lege to form the Domestic Science Club.
This is the second of two albums by the Domestic Science Club and it seems unlikely that there will be any more. Apart from singing, the ladies also play guitars (electric and acoustic). Chris Searles played drums and percussion, while either Drew Garrett or Jeff Haley played bass - these were the only additional musicians used on the album. With a generous sixteen tracks, you certainly get good value. The best-known song here is the final track, a cover of What a little moonlight can do, by far the oldest song here. None of the songs are well known, though Jean Ritchie fans will recognize Blue diamond mines.
Dixie Chicks fans who must have everything that has any connection will buy this anyway, but should not expect it sound like anything they did even when Robin was in the group. Really, this is an interesting contemporary folk album and should be appreciated on that basis.

Great combination of beauty, talent, humor, and orginality., September 7, 1999
This review is from: Three Women (Audio CD)
Robin's (formerly with The Dixie Chicks) lyrics, Sara's haunting refrains and Patti's sweet harmony can't be beat. These ladies are easy on both the eyes and the ears.
