Customer Reviews of O Sister! The Women's Bluegrass Collection
The original O sister collection Beginning with If wishes were horses by Claire Lynch (my favorite bluegrass singer), this is a thoroughly enjoyable collection of bluegrass music by some of the finest ladies in the business.
Apart from Claire, you will find tracks by Rhonda Vincent, The Stevens sisters, Laurie Lewis, the Cox Family, Alison Krauss and Lynn Morris to name just a few.
Hazel Dickens gets three tracks, including two duets - she is clearly the favorite of the compiler, as she gets four tracks on O sister 2. If the idea is to sell more of Hazel's own CD's, it may not work, as some people may decide they don't need any more. This would be a shame, as Hazel is a fine singer.
This collection has already been very successful, deservedly so. Rounder have released a follow-up, O sister 2, while Warners in Britain have released a double-CD, O sister where art thou, although that compilation is not limited to bluegrass.
Lacks the Cohesion of her Brother
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
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.
