The Ranch Girls

"What a pleasure to work with The Ranch Girls and the Ragtime Wranglers, it's great to know that the raw tradition of Rockabilly is in the hands of personal friends 'Born with a Rockabilly Soul'." Larry Collins
 
They look like a lively pair on the cover and The Ranch Girls only take a few moments to prove themselves so on a slice of retro rockabilly that positively brims with fun. The Ranch Girls don't look like they come from Rotterdam. More like Fiftiesville in the American Mid-West at a time when hillbilly and western swing were just beginnning to take on the electric twang of rock'n'roll. And that's exactly like they sound.
     Despite physical similarities (they once named a group The Half Pint Pygmies after their lack of height) Mary Ann and Mary Lou aren't sisters. But they sure sing like it, sticking together like bubblegum to a Chevy seat, on a set of speedy harmonies characterised by the fact that they sound like they're singing with great big infectious grins on their faces.
     Mary Ann wrote most of the material, all of which sits with complete confidence next to a spirited cover of Tennessee Saturday Night - and there could hardly be a more appropriate title than that to sum up what The Ranch Girls are about.
     A track by track is unnecessary. Suffice to say that every word fits the retro mood and The Ranch Girls' upfront vocals are perfectly supported by authentic double bass lines and lean electric guitar breaks from their male backing band.
     The mid to fast pace never lets up and the inlay art - arranged like a set of '50s press ads, completes a release that is guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of hillbilly rock'n'rollers everywhere. Veteran Collins Kid Larry Collins said The Ranch Girls were 'Born with rockabilly soul' and I'm not gonna argue with that. Douglas McPherson 2002
