Canadian duo Kate & Anna McGarrigle's first two albums (their self-titled 1976 debut and 1977's DANCER WITH BRUISED KNEES) engendered a unanimous critical cheer. 1982's LOVE OVER AND OVER is the spiritual kin to these albums. It is, fittingly, another winner--gorgeous, heartbreaking songs abound. Warm and inventive both lyrically and musically, each composition heads straight for the heart. The sisters write separately (except for some occasional lyrics), which allows for the contrast that is part of their successful union. A timeless recording, LOVE OVER AND OVER sounded as contemporary in 1982 as it did when reissued in 1997.

Active from the 1970s on, Canadian sisters Kate & Anna McGarrigle possess voices that blend in the magical ways that only those of siblings can, and are both powerfully affecting songwriters. While their music is nominally in the folk-rock vein, their arrangements draw from diverse sources and lend a bracing sense of place, community, and family to their music.
