Review

The British label Living Era rarely disappoints when compiling classic jazz or vocal material, and its volume on the quintessential tight-harmony sister trio the Boswell Sisters is no different. Compiling 25 of the most charming, carefree performances from their catalog, Shout, Sister, Shout! has very little wrong with it and only one minor crime (not including "River, Stay 'Way From My Door"). All of the best of their swinging, Dorsey Brothers-backed gems are present, including "When I Take My Sugar to Tea," "Shuffle Off to Buffalo," and "Heebie Jeebies." ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
