The liner notes from these albums, originally published in 1952and 1953, are a testament to the challenge that The Chordettesfaced when they first started performing thisrepertoire - to convince people that yes,women can sing barbershop style harmony too! Make no mistake - thisis a barbershop album! And they doit well on these two separate offerings, combined here for a double helpingof beautiful quartet singing by these talented women from Sheboygan.Including favorites like dreamy "Carolina Moon," sweet "S'posin',"smooth "Sentimental Journey" and classics to satisfy the mostdie-hard kibber like "Wait 'Til the Sun Shines, Nellie," "For Me and My Gal"and "Down Among the Sheltering Palms," the talent and musicalityof these women cannot be ignored. Their intelligent use of dynamicsand blend, not to mention a warm, sweet tone makes this a truly enjoyablelisten. (49:25 2002)
