The Burns Sisters

"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.
