Sisters Wade - Sisters Wade

As the first act outside The Charlie Daniels Band to be signed to the young Blue Hat label, (co-owned by Charlie Daniels and David Corlew) Julie and Debbie Wade have come out of the chute wide open, with a sound that rivals that of any of Nashville's hot young country performers.

While there are certainly similarities to acts like The Judds, The Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain, there is something very special and absolutely unique about the music these young ladies produce. Charlie Daniels said, "These girls remind me of a babbling brook out back of my house when I was a kid- so fresh you could drink from it." Charlie pretty much hit the nail on the head. Their band, The Hipwaders, is tight and smooth, backing some fine country vocals. The CD opener, "Don't Let Me Down," written by Debbie and Julie, is a sure-fire dance floor smash, up tempo with a catchy hook and soaring melody. The honesty and passion carry over into the rest of the album as well, with songs like "I'm Not Over You," "I Told Him All About You," and "You're All I Need," with it's Eagles sounding music and pure country melody.

Produced by Bill Halverson (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; The Texas Tornadoes), Sisters Wade is a record filled with heart. Part Emmylou Harris and part Alison Krauss, with mandolins and dobros and stand-up bass, the music is acoustic and fresh, and very radio friendly. The first single, "How Much Longer," has been climbing country charts around the country, breaking ground for an inevitable success for the two Massachusetts natives turned Nashville girls. When all is said and done, Sisters Wade will remain a force to be reckoned with on the country music charts for many years to come, and Charlie Daniels will be able to sit back and smile that bib hearted smile of his and say, "See, I told y'all so!" ~Michael B.
