• Competition?

    Posted by Peter White on 03/12/2023 at 17:38

    May I recommend some potential competition for the Twins? These people have harmonies which can be <almost> as good as Mona + Lisa. They mostly cover classic American pop and rock but do dip into the Beatles catalog now and then, such as today. Their outdoor filming is what I call ‘guerrilla video’, meaning in city parks and at public sites in all kinds of weather. This is their newest effort but I have also attached one of the great pop/rock classics, covered three months ago. As I say, one day they can be almost as good as the MonaLisaTwins. Enjoy!

    I discovered these guys myself a few months ago, Peter, and I was really impressed! I think I posted their cover of Stand By Me here in another discussion thread.

    David, I didn’t even look because their views are so relatively slim that I just figured I was the first. They do a lot of work in the studio as well, including Beatrice as she branches out to a solo career. Like in the MLT’s ‘Questionable’, she doubles and triples herself, which to me is an Art. I also like how goofy the ladies can be at times, again as with the Twins, looking like they really enjoy what they are doing. See ‘Johnny B Good’, for ex. And good grief, harking back to the MLT’s earlier days, these gals are <young>! Ages 18 and 20 for example. Thanks for your reply.

    My other favorite sisters are Lily & Madeleine. They built their following on these beautiful harmonies and melodies, but unfortunately have moved away from that the last couple albums. Here are a couple of my favorites:

    L & M have beautiful voices and look so young! Though I think the uploads are older? Their songs create a mood right from the start.

    And we have yet another pair of sisters with nigh unto angelic voices. The Webb Sisters accompanied Leonard Cohen for nearly a year on I believe his last tour. Here they perform ‘If It Be Your Will’ starting at the 1 minute mark following a recitation by ol’ gravel-voice.

    Sister harmonies are the best! I discovered this family group on TV about 25 years ago, and this song of theirs is still living rent-free in my head:

      The Corrs! Their cover of REM’s ‘Everybody Hurts ‘ on MTV unplugged or whatever is to die for. Always a fine sound from them. And in fact the Twins could do a great job with that song.
