Plan B

Description

Product Description There s an uncanny musical empathy and alchemy that s always been the hallmark of The Bevvy Sisters. On the group s brand new album Plan B , it shines brightly. Whether they are exploring a deep old American roots/gospel classic like Ain t No Grave , stamping their identity on Americana gold, tackling new self-penned work ( Junkyard Band , Higher Place ) or songs from the pen of the acclaimed songsmith Sandy Wright ( Little Bird , Six Degrees ), the vitality of this fresh, dynamic ensemble is always a joy to see and hear. The band s potent spirit has already made waves in their native Scotland and, with the new album, they will also be venturing further afield. Audiences will find The Bevvy Sisters mix equal measures of sweetness and sass, grit and glamour, heartbreak and hilarity. Their radiantly triple-layered vocals and artfully, wide-ranging repertoire of vintage, contemporary and original songs stands out in both style and substance. What they produce is pure vocal magic. Review Luscious. Lovely. Tuneful. The Bevvy Sisters can mix the dirtiest martini in town, then sing it. --Eliza CarthyI feel it's my calling to be an understudy Bevvy Sister --Eddi Reader'From the lovelorn to the light-hearted, from murderously melancholic to cowgirl romantic. They teeter sometimes at the very brink of kitsch, but by sheer musicality technique and style, effortlessly perfect do not fall in.' --Edinburgh ReporterFirst reaction. What is this? The opening cut Ain't No Grave just hit me right between the eyes. A guitar sound to die for and three-part harmony with an edge and delivery that fits the song perfectly. No matter how many versions of the song have gone before this one really raises the grave. Such a stunning opening sets you up, either to enjoy the rest of the album, or to head for disappointment if such a dynamic start is not maintained. Worry not, for this is not a false come-on. Original songs, more fine arrangements of traditional songs and a couple by a fine Scottish writer, Sandy Wright...more of all this please. --John Atkins, fRoots, April 2014Plan B has a dazzling vibrancy, it works on all levels and is a fabulous collection of songs as well as sounds. There is clearly a special chemistry that they share...Plan B is packed with a joie de vivre and an infectious energy. --Simon Holland, Folk Radio UK'From the lovelorn to the light-hearted, from murderously melancholic to cowgirl romantic.
