Free Music Notes for The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo
Free Music Review: Divine sounds
Hit: 5 Stars
I only recently head of the Puppini Sisters, but already I am a big fan.
While I did like their first effort (Betcha Bottom Dollar), they really take off with The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo [apparently the reference is to a particular shade of lipstick favored by the glam gal singers of yesteryear after whom they fashion themselves [read = Andrews Sisters], and which the three current ladies still wear].
Marcella Puppini, Stephanie O'Brien, and Kate Mullins (not real sisters, clearly) revisit old favorites, like "It Don't Mean A Thing [If It Ain't Got That Swing]", and "Old Cape Cod". They also tangle with established tunes, on which they place their distinctive mark ("Spooky", "Walk Like An Egyptian" --BRILLIANT, BTW--and "Could It Be Magic".)
But the trio really makes a splash with their original work on "Ruby Woo".
The peppy, delightfully dance-worthy "Soho Nights" stands out as a wonderful example of how the neo-swing sound has been captured by these songstresses. "I Can't Believe I'm Not A Millionaire" slides back to the early days of blues (Billie Holiday could have done it sixty years ago).
"And She Sang" incorporates their mellifluous harmonization to great effect, while "It's Not Over (Death or the Toy Piano" has a unique sound all its own, with the selfsame toy piano actually employed in the tune (!)
I love the Neo-Swing revival that burst into life in the late 1990s, its advent brought on by "Swingers" and such greats as the Cherry-Poppin' Daddies, Brian Setzer Orchestra, and the everlasting glory that was the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Curiously, no girl group emerged at that time in homage to the Andrews Sisters, the Boswell Sisters, and their ilk: but the Puppini Sisters fills this gap beautifully.
I am looking forward to further divine sounds produced by them!
