The Forester Sisters - Greatest Hits
The four Foresters--Kathy, June, Kim, and Christy--grew up singing in church in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. But their sound is closer to the polished pop of the McGuire Sisters than the rousing harmonies of gospel quartets. That's not to downplay their appeal: the four present a charming jaunty form of melodic pop country spiked with light swing. Their harmonies own a compelling warmth. And their solos suggest they're all capable vocalists--especially Kim, whose husky tone recalls Wynonna Judd.Greatest Hits, released in 1989, draws only from the group's initial three albums. But it features the hits "That's What You Do (When You're in Love)," "I'd Choose You Again," and Sincerely," making it the best career retrospective available.--Michael McCall
