The Boswell Sisters – Nothing Was Sweeter Than The Boswell Sisters
The boswell sisters were introduced to me on a work-related road-trip back in 2006 (thanks Sam!) and I instantly fell in love with them. They’re a 1920s trio of sisters who sing the most heart-warming swing and jazz you’ve ever heard. I possibly only like them because of the ‘antique’ sound they have but actually the harmonies and tunes are incredibly catchy and get stuck in your head for days to come so I think they deserve to be respected in their own right.
Good stuff – enjoyed that.
Maybe just in my mind because they are also called ’sisters’ but did I ever get you to listen to the Puppini Sisters?

Huh – that looks good W, thanks for the link. They do indeed sound very much like a modern day Boswell Sisters so I’ll definitely check them out. Interestingly their company b-boy track was sampled by Backini and I used that track in one of my mixes which was even called Company B-Boy!!
