Our Take
Our Take
Ah, the Andrews Sisters – the original girl group that had everyone swinging in the 1930s and 40s. Their harmonies were tighter than a pair of vintage stockings, and their energy was infectious enough to make even the stiffest upper lip start tapping along.
This collection of hits from 1937-1955 is like a time machine that transports you straight to the dance halls of yesteryear. From the toe-tapping "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" to the heart-wrenching "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree," the Andrews Sisters prove they were the queens of their era.
Their playful vocal dynamics and catchy melodies are as irresistible today as they were back then. Tracks like "Rum and Coca Cola" and "Bei Mir Bist Du Schön" still sound as fresh as a cucumber sandwich at a garden party.
However, not every track is a hit. Some of the slower ballads can feel a bit dated and cheesy, like a slice of pineapple on a ham sandwich. But hey, every rose has its thorn, right?
Overall, this collection is a must-have for any lover of vintage music or anyone looking to add a touch of retro flair to their playlist. The Andrews Sisters may have been a product of their time, but their music is timeless. So pour yourself a glass of champagne, put on your dancing shoes, and let the Andrews Sisters sweep you off your feet once again. Toodle-oo, darlings!

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.
