CELEBRATING THE WORKS OF KATE MCGARRIGLE – SING ME THE SONGS

If music is the language of the soul and the heart, this complilation gives the listener a very accurate measure of Kate McGarrigle and her sister Anna’s souls. Sing me the Songs is a little over two hours of their replicated music by some very talented musicians. These contributors evoke the sisters’ thoughts, depths and passions with songs like Talk to Me, Mendocino and Heart Like a Wheel.

Talents such as Norah Jones, with McGarrigle’s children, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, collaborate in varying combinations and styles. They bring a rich and full sound to the McGarrigle family’s beautiful catalogue to aid cancer care and research. (SP)
