At the folk end of the pop scale comes this debut album by an attractive chick duo whove gathered big-time support. Theyve opened for Jimmy Rankin and the Indigo Girls. The album was recorded in England by no less a personage than John Reynolds who produced the work of Sinead OConnor and the Indigo Girls. Their sound is a mix of Brenley MacEacherns solid guitar rocking out rhythm and melody in front, backed by Lisa MacIsaacs traditional fiddle and a seven-piece band plus skillful digital programming. What holds it all together is the lovely floaty vocal harmony they give their tunes that are about the emotions of relationships. An ambitious project thats gathering a lot of attention. Naturally, The Live Music Report is quite biased toward their very appealing live act which stood out at the recent Gordon Lightfoot Tribute in Toronto. Catch them live when you can.
