Magnolia Sisters – Love’s Lies / ARH CD-549

Description

Arhoolie CD 549

GRAMMY NOMINATED: in Best Regional Roots Music Album category

The Magnolia Sisters is a band of women who can play the whole gamut of musical styles from southwest Louisiana: Cajun Creole dancehall favorites and front porch ballads. While these older songs are the more unusual aspect of their sound they also love to play energetic Cajun dancehall and Creole numbers that bring the audience to their feet. Whatever style they approach they bring a freshness and vitality to the music.

Ann Savoy, Jane Vidrine, Anya Burgess and Lisa Trahan each bring their own rich individual experience as a Louisiana musician, mother and woman in the real world. Their common ground is the music, the heritage and the feeling that comes across.

Love’s Lies is the Magnolia Sisters’ third release on Arhoolie Records. Their previous album Stripped Down was nominated for a Grammy for Best Cajun/Zydeco Album.
