CD Review - By Bob Silvestri

Some people were just meant to sing together. Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Carolann Solobello who make up the band Red Molly are three of those people. On their first full length release titled Love and Other Tragedies the members of Red Molly blend a mix of banjos, folk guitar, mandolins and amazing crystalline three part harmonies for stunning results. Outstanding cuts include "The Mind of a Soldier", the Gillian Welch written "Wichita", the gospel flavored "Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning", and "Make Me Lonely Again". The back porch style jam "Summertime" and the a cappella "May I Suggest" resonate as well. For more on Red Molly and their new disc Love and Other Tragedies check out www.redmolly.com
