I'll have a P please Bob.
Right you are - this week brother and sister acts beginning with the letter P
The brothers this week are Joe and Bob Pernice who along with others constitute the fine band imaginatively known as the Pernice Brothers.
Here is the first track from their third album from 2003 Yours, Mine & Ours released on the Ashmont Records label
Pernice Brothers - The Weakest Shade of Blue
A welcome, if temporary, break from Americana as we join Soul/pop sisters Anita, June and Ruth Pointer from 1991 on their fourth album Black & White. This song reached number 13 in the US Billboard charts and number 50 in the UK singles charts
Another sister Bonnie has also performed with the band
June died in 2006. Anita and Ruth currently perform as part of a rotating trio along with Ruth's daughter Issa and granddaughter Sadako
Pointer Sisters - Should I Do It
Isn't the top photo Joe Pernice & Norman Blake, aka The New Mendicants?
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed - well spotted
DeleteBrothers in arms!
Duly changed
ReplyDeleteWeakest Shade Of Blue, such a great song. There's that old cleft stick thing going on - you want to bosom cling to a favourite track, keep it to yrself etc yet crave wider appreciation. I'll go for the latter.
