    This Boston women's quartet has been called "funky," and their website (www.talk2thehand.com) bears this out in its descriptions of the four women. These gals have just too much energy to be believed. Their tongue-in-cheek and high-spirited style is risky, but their talent ensures that you take them seriously. With voices right on and 20 canny song selections for this recording from the recent rock and contemporary genre (artists from Pat Benetar, "Love Is A Battlefield" to Garbage, "I Think I'm Paranoid", not to mention the frothy Carpenters' "There's A Kind of Hush"), listeners will be mesmerized. It has to be conceded that the disc is not entirely acappella: there's a kazoo in "Thorn in My Side," and tap-dancing as percussion for "Cruel to Be Kind." Look to "I Think I'm Paranoid" for some extra nice vocal percussion. Yes, they're creative - the group's members arranged all but one of the cuts - The Beatles' "Got to Get You Into My Life" is especially clever. You may not want to talk to the hand, but you should be listening to it! (1:05:58)
