Our Take

Ah, the Andrews Sisters - the original girl group who have been setting the standard for harmonious, toe-tapping tunes since before your grandma was even a glint in your great-granddad's eye. Their latest compilation album, cunningly titled "The Classic Years," is a delightful romp through some of their most iconic hits.

From the moment the infectious boogie-woogie piano kicks in on "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," you know you're in for a rollicking good time. The Andrews Sisters' tight vocal harmonies are as sweet and smooth as a dollop of clotted cream on a scone - pure perfection.

Tracks like "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree" and "Rum and Coca-Cola" are guaranteed to get your hips swaying and your feet tapping, while slow burners like "I'll Be with You in Apple Blossom Time" showcase the Sisters' tender side.

The production on this album is surprisingly crisp and clear, considering these tracks were recorded decades ago. Each note is a little nugget of nostalgia, transporting you straight back to the swingin' 40s with a snap of your fingers and a twirl of your skirt.

Overall, "The Classic Years" is a must-have for any fan of vintage music or anyone looking to inject a bit of retro flair into their playlist. The Andrews Sisters may be long gone, but their music lives on - and damn, it's still good.

About the artist

The Andrews Sisters

The Andrews Sisters: Swing's Original Girl Group Picture this: it's the 1940s, swing music is in full swing (pun intended), and the airwaves are dominated by a trio of harmonizing powerhouse sisters known as the Andrews Sisters. La Verne, Maxene, and Patty Andrews burst onto the music scene with their infectious blend of close harmonies and sassy attitude that quickly captured the hearts of music fans around the world. With their unique vocal style and energetic performances, the Andrews Sisters became one of the most successful female acts of their era, selling over 90 million records and earning the nickname "America's Sweethearts." From upbeat tunes like "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" to sentimental ballads like "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree," the Andrews Sisters' music was the perfect soundtrack for a generation experiencing the highs and lows of World War II. Despite their success, the sisters were known for their playful sibling rivalry and quirky personalities, often trading witty banter on stage and in interviews. Their infectious energy and sense of camaraderie made them beloved by fans of all ages, earning them a reputation as the ultimate girl group before the term even existed. While their heyday may be long gone, the Andrews Sisters' influence can still be felt in the music industry today, with artists like The Puppini Sisters and Postmodern Jukebox paying homage to their iconic sound. So next time you're in the mood for some vintage vibes and toe-tapping tunes, give the Andrews Sisters a spin and let their swingin' harmonies transport you to a bygone era of music magic.
