The bluegrass bandwagon continues to roll in 2001. This collection attempts to capitalize on the breakthrough success of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. Drawn from Rounder's rich catalog, the 19-cut sampler of female singing, fiddling, and picking extends from an era when women were a novelty in this male-dominated music category through the popular crossover ascendance of such contemporary artists (and O Brother favorites) as Alison Krauss and the Cox Family. Harmonies from the likes of Rhonda Vincent and the Stevens sisters soar toward the heavens, while the earthier strains of Hazel Dickens and Ginny Hawker are more reflective of the music's hardscrabble roots. Though Wilma Lee Cooper's "You Tried to Ruin My Name" has all the subtlety of a hog-calling contest, such rawness is about as real as this music gets. --Don McLeese
Customer Reviews:
Love it!.......2007-03-08
The voices are clear and you can actually hear real instruments! There isn't one processed song in the bunch. My kids and husband love it as well. We can actually all listen to it together and I don't have to worry about explaining certain things to the kids.
This Bluegrass CD is Excellent!!!!!!.......2005-07-25
There are 19 tracks on this CD and with the exception of 1-2 songs, this may well be one of the best bluegrass CDs I own. What a buy! Eight More Miles with Laurie Lewis, Claire Lynch, Lynn Morris and Rhonda Vincent steal the show here. I have been a lover of bluegrass for over 25 years and this CD is a must have for everyone.
Lacks the Cohesion of her Brother.......2003-10-12
The collection of songs on "O Brother" was made very deliberately, with a wonderful ear toward a "comprehensive" overall sound. But there was no such brilliant and strong guiding force at work for "O Sister", which is essentially a compilation of various female Rounder artistes.
Don't get me wrong - I like many of the songs included here, but they don't always blend together in the best way.
I haven't yet heard a superb compliation collection of female bluegrass artistes, but if you want to hear an excellent and cohesive collection of Rounder artists, buy the 2-CD "Hand Picked: 25 Years of Bluegrass".
wow.......2003-09-27
I was just thummin' through some free downloads when I ran into this cd and thought I would give it a try. thinking nothing of it I started playing them. after listening to the samples rour times I decied to get it for myself. the songs are equally catchy up deat and addicitve. the banjo is a beautiful insterment which the cd contains a lot of is old time sound. if you like bluegrass your collection wont be complete without this cd I imagin the frist one is just as good.
Phony Bluegrass.......2003-03-29
If this is Bluegrass then I will have to stick with greengrass.
My impression is that they failed with rock or whaterver. Music such as O'Sister will destroy real Bluegrass. The CD that I purchased went to the garbage can where it belongs!!
