Calliope's Sisters

The Andrews Sisters came on the scene in 1938 with Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen, and closed out their era (early fifties) with the dreamy balled, I Can Dream Can't I? and the monster smashes in between with Rum and Coca-Cola and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy to name just a few. Their blissful passion shines on through in this 4 disc collection of some of their most popular tunes. Disc One and Two are all their Top Ten hits in chronological order. Disc three and four are full of rare tunes that are also quite enjoyable. You can't listen to these tracks and not tap your feet and sing along.

For readers of Prairie Fires and The Peabody Sisters, a fascinating, insightful biography of the most famous sister novelists before the Brontës.

The McCrary Sisters are sharing the spirit of the holiday season with 'A Very McCrary Christmas', a stunning sacred collection that embraces the quartet's soulful Southern roots. Produced by Grammy Award winner Scott Billington, this is the McCrary Sisters' first album for Rounder Records. Southern gospel, traditional hymns, R&B, pop, jazz… all of these influences find their way into 'A Very McCrary Christmas'. Many of the titles here are familiar, though beautifully wrapped in surprising new arrangements and feature an array of special guests including Pastor Shirley Caesar, Steve Crawford, Jerry Douglas, Alison Krauss, Buddy Miller, and Keb' Mo'.

The music of Robbie James has been described as "a journal through time and space with deep respect for our vast and varied land."
