Buy Me, Bring Me, Take Me: Don't Mess My Hair Four Bitchen Babes $15.00 In 1990 Christine Lavin invited three singer/songwriters, Megon McDonough, Sally Fingerett, and Patty Larkin, to join her for a group concert project. Naming themselves the Four Bitchin' Babes (the word was intended to mean "hip and cool"), they quickly acquired many fans with their music, humor, innovative shows, and chemistry with each other and their audiences. "Live At The Birchmere" was the Babes' first album, spotlighting the talents of each member of the group as well as their ease at working together as an ensemble, and demonstrating why Four Bitchin' Babes shows have been described as "travelling pajama parties."
"A garrulous comic observer of contemporary manners." -New York Times |
Buy Me, Bring Me, Take Me: Don't Mess My Hair Vol 2Four Bitchen Babes $15.00 The Babes' second album was recorded in a studio, and features singer/songwriter Julie Gold, who replaced Patty Larkin as the fourth Babe in 1992, before Julie's song, "From A Distance" became a Grammy-winning megahit. On this album, each Babe sings some of her best solo material, backed up in tight harmonies by the other three members of the group. Sally and Megon on piano and guitar, Julie on piano, and Christine on guitar, all demonstrate their remarkable abilities as musicians and as witty and insightful songwriters.

Fax It! Charge It! Don't Ask Me What's For Dinner!Four Bitchen Babes $15.00 On this studio album, Debi Smith adds her lovely voice and talent on guitar and bodhran (Irish drum) to the Babes, replacing Julie Gold as the group's fourth member. Since they began in 1990, the Babes' popularity has continued to grow, with frequently sold-out shows and three popular albums. (Christine Lavin left the Babes in 1997 and was replaced by Camille West.) Here Christine, Sally, Megon, and Debi each contribute their funny, thoughtful, and sometimes skewed views of everyday life. Each woman has her own distinctive musical style; Christine's is comedic and narrative; Megon sings equally well in jazz, folk, and country styles; Sally's soaring melodies lend themselves to her skill as a concert-style pianist; and Debi effectively adds guitar and the dramatic bodhran to her Nashville and bluegrass sound. Yet they are able to blend their styles into complex and clever arrangements, the lead singer backed by harmonies from the others.
"How can funny sound this pretty?" -Scott Alarik, Boston Globe
