If you can only purchase a few albums this year, make this one of them, for sure...it is magnificent, intelligent, absolutely a pleasure. This 2-CD set, released in 2002, features both their first self-titled CD... plus their brilliant sophomore recording Wild Strings... plus extra live tracks! The duo becomes a trio (Carol and Michelle have been joined by Lydia Ruffin), and their awesome harmonies are even fuller. They have sustained their incredible powerhouse energy, plus strength in lyric, rhythm, melody. Mostly original material; includes Across the Wide, Muses, You Were Here/ Seven Day Kiss. Produced in part by ace Terry Garthwaite, at times recorded with a full band. Another great Women’s Music recording rescued from out-of-print land -- yay! Very highly recommended!
