"Once you hear these songs you’ll be hooked and you’ll want to know more about each artist on this compilation." -Mick Rainsford, Blues in Britain

“Sisters of the South” features twelve different artistes performing in a variety of traditional styles; some of the names, I am sure, will be familiar to you, but others will open your ears to new musical delights that will tempt you to explore the label’s catalogue in more detail. -Mick Rainsford

There is a little bit of everything here; gospel songs both wrenching and uplifting, lyrical guitar mastery, a playful risqué number, and low-down driving blues. These poets and musicians opened their homes and hearts and shared their voices with us for all to hear. Enjoy.
