The Red Rose Girls CD is finally out.

Red Rose Girls
Self Titled
(MTR407)

Following in the old-time legacy of Portlands Old-Time stalwarts The
Dickel Brothers comes The Red Rose Girls. These three women are
already making a name for themselves on the scene belting out sweet
and dirty harmonies around town. These simple and fun traditional
recordings will please fans of the Carter Family, Doc Watson, etc. In
the custom of rural musical history of the 20s and 30s, they give you
no reverb, no mandolin, and no fake hillbilly accents just raw
acoustic guitars and intimate harmonies. They lay down strong rhythms
underneath the old songs that range from fierce and primal to trance-
like. As one fan put it, "The Red Rose Girls make people rock who
never knew they wanted to rock in the first place."
