"Like the angels of political and social hope bringing light through
the dark clouds of post-9/11 America. Their take on "God's Promise," a
Woody Guthrie lyric set to music by Ellis Paul, is a gorgeous hymn for
humanity. Conversely, their performance of Guthrie's "Vigilante Man"
show how three beautiful voices can be wielded like the sharp edge of
a sword.The sisters new CD, which promises to be the sort of music we sorely
need in these turbulent times of conflict and confusion. Their
stirring take on Leonard Cohen's "Democracy" offers tangible optimism
that the electoral times just might be a changin'. Marie's "Bring Them
Home" supports the troops in the best way possible by wishing for the
safe return of those Americans placed in harm's way. Though The Burns
Sisters are admittedly lapsed former Catholic schoolgirls, the
heavenly way they sing Andrew Lloyd Weber's requiem "Pie Jesu" shows
that they have a direct line to the divine.
It's all to be heard on a new CD titled Wild Bouquet.
