The three part harmonies you'll hear on this CD will make your soul vibrate, your aura resonate, your chakras fluctuate, your....well you get the picture. Rapturous, sublime, and memorable. 'One voice', the opening track is a brilliant introduction to the CD, and a cover of 'Old man' that sounds better than when Neil Young sings it!!! 'Arlington' is my hands down favorite, evoking memories and emotions bittersweet.
I hope to hear more in the future from these exceptionally talented women.

I already had this CD, and knew my artist friend in Cape Breton would like it as much as I do. She does! Beautiful harmonies. If you get a chance to see these women in concert, you will get more than you expect.

This is an album you can listen to from start to finish and love everything about it!

What is it about Canada providing such fertile ground for great female singer/songwriters? From the peerless Joni Mitchell to the irresistible Lynn Miles, there's also been such wonderful work from Susie Ungerleider (Oh Susanna), the Be Good Tanyas, the recent cd from the Duhks and, of course, the Wailin' Jennys.

Ruth Moody, Nicky Mehta, and Cara Luft-three Canadian singer/songwriters--have produced the harmony album of the year. Each has a distinctive voice and song writing tone. But, their affinity for each other, vocally, is amazing. A brilliant and lovely opening song, "One Voice" sets the perfect mood. Mostly excellent originals, they also perform several covers: a great version of Neil Young's "Old Man" which called to mind the harmonies of Crosby, Stills and Nash and a lovely take on John Hiatt's romantic "Take it Down." A couple of traditional tunes, as well, including a beautiful closing "The Parting Glass." Don't miss this one.

Cara Luft has left the Jennys and been replaced with Annabelle Chvostek. Let's hope the miraculous sounds and songwriting continue. In the meantime, go to the websites of the Wailin' Jennys, Nicky Mehta and Ruth Moody. If you are as taken with them as I am, buy Ruth's MOODY, PENNER AND SWAIN (a celtic album of traditional tunes), Ruth's solo BLUE MUSE, Nicky's WEATHER VANE, and the Jennys' earlier EP. All of them are quite wonderful.

These three ladies have the most beautiful harmonies. Very soothing and uplifting music. Can't wait for a new one. Don't wait....buy it NOW!!!!

This album has been in my CD player for over two months and I have no intention of removing it anytime soon. The harmonies of these women are simply out of this world. I've seen them play at two Canadian folk festivals so far and they are every bit as good live. This is a real gem to add to your CD collection.
