Oracle Sisters Rodeo

As the 70s dawned and Motown relocated to the West Coast, the era of their honey-toned 60s girl groups came to a resounding halt. The Sisters Love were the antithesis of the traditional Motown group and came to the label from A&M, armed with a lot of funk, sass and attitude. Paired with some of Motown's finest writers and producers, Hal Davis, Gloria Jones, Pamela Sawyer, Paul Riser and Willie Hutch, they got off to a rousing start with the gritty "Mr. Fix-It Man" and went into high gear for the UK only release "I m Learning To Trust My Man." Motown had them playing arenas with The Jackson Five (probably not their smartest move!), issued the odd single and scheduled more but Sisters Love's anticipated breakthrough didn't happen.

The second full-length by the psychedelic band from Lyon, France, that named itself after the classic Zombies-LP. Expect colourful retro-futuristic music with influences from a.o. Brian Wilson, Caetano Veloso, White Noise, J.S. Bach, Moondog,
Robert Wyatt… The French lyrics, both surreal and utopian, witness the contradictions of our times and invite the listener to imagine a revolutionary love.

The cornshed sisters are jennie brewis, cath stephens, liz corney and marie nixon; four singer-songwriters based in tyne and wear, who weave together pop, folk, ballad and protest music into a unique and distinctive style.

Swingin' and rockin', sexy and eccentric, holiday music finally puts on the red lipstick, slips into a silky cleavage-celebrating ball gown, and goes gorgeous and glamorous with Christmas With the Puppini Sisters.
The Puppini Sisters may have started out retro, but they have become true originals. With Christmas With the Puppini Sisters, holiday music never sounded so fresh and new.

This is the debut disc from this quartet and the album runs the gamut from ballads to rockers. It's a pretty good CD, with a heavy country feel to it.

The Andrews Sisters were the most successful female vocal group of the first half of the 20th century in the U.S. One source lists 113 singles chart entries by the trio between 1938-1951, an average of more than eight per year. They boasted an exuberant, close-harmony style well-suited to cheery novelty songs, and their intricate vocal arrangements and rhythmic ability mirrored the sound of the swing bands that constituted their chief competition in their heyday. The first two discs in this set present all of their Top Ten recordings (based on the Billboard magazine), whilst the other two discs showcase many songs that have not been heard for some considerable time.

Gabi Hartmann, c’est l’univers atypique d’une artiste qui brouille les styles entre pop, folk, jazz, soul et world. Elle chante ce qui l’inspire dans plusieurs langues, en échappant aux catégories. Elle a su imposer son style bien à elle, mais aussi son émotion ambiguë : une voix au timbre chaud et clair, à la fois douce, mélancolique et apaisante.

The music of The Foto Sisters is a charming and unique blend of sacred, classical, cinematic, and pop styles, with a hint of Celtic. Audiences across the United States have been delighted and inspired by their heartfelt melodies and graceful instrumentation. For over sixteen years, this classically-trained sibling trio has appeared in many different venues, including churches, conferences, schools, cantatas, weddings, and charity events. “It’s hard to remember life as sisters without music,” says Gaylyn.

THE BOSWELL SISTERS The Boswell Sisters inauspiciously launched their recording career in New Orleans, their hometown, on March 22, 1925, but their first release, I’m Gonna Cry and Nights When I’m Lonely didn’t shake any rafters. Early local appearances featured Connie, the eldest, on cello, Helvetia (“Vet”) on violin, and Martha at the piano, but the city’s jazz environment made Connie and Vet switch to saxophone and banjo, respectively. At first, the singing was almost incidental, but it became their ticket to national attention five years later when they moved to New York and became a fixture on radio shows. The Boswell Sisters were notable for their tight harmony as well as their unique ability to modulate pitch and give familiar songs a new melodic twist. They were the cutting edge that inspired future groups, including The Andrews Sisters, who began their own career by emulating them, even down to their Southern accent. The exuberant sisters recorded a string of hits in the 1930s, sometimes teaming up with fellow vocalists, such as Bing Crosby and The Mills Brothers. Instrumental accompaniments are by some of the day’s most popular musicians and bands, including The Dorsey Brothers, Don Redman, Red Nichols, and Benny Goodman. Considering their popularity and impact, the sisters had a relatively brief run, disbanding in 1936 when Martha and Vel married outside of the music industry and decided to give priority to family life. Connie, however, continued and enjoyed a successful solo career. This boxed set contains the entire Boswell Sisters output of commercially released recordings—a remarkable set of performances that paved the way for the vocal trio genre.
