Overview
This program features multicast narration.
Two generations of a folk-rock dynasty collide over art, love, longing, and family secrets in this captivating and poignant debut
It’s 1996, and alt-rocker Emma Cantor is on tour, with her sights trained on a record deal. Emma’s got no lack of inspiration for her music — chiefly her mother Judie, a 1960s folk legend whose confessional songs made her an icon before her mysterious withdrawal from the public eye. Emma is baffled by Judie’s coldness, and is deeply shaken when she learns a long-kept secret about their family. When Emma uncovers more about her mother’s past, she is vaulted to new heights as a performer. But the knowledge she gains also propels her toward a musical betrayal that further fractures her relationship with Judie. Increasingly famous, but fragile and isolated, Emma grapples with her mother’s legacy and what it means for her own future.
With the richness of a beloved folk song, The Singer Sisters moves between ’60s folk clubs and ’90s music festivals, chronicling the ups and downs of stardom while asking what women artists must sacrifice for success.
Review
Judie left the music scene years ago, when she was on top! Now her daughter, Emma, has a chance to make it. Emma struggles with her relationship with her mother. She cannot understand why she just gave it all up. But Emma soon discovers her mother’s past and it is not what she expected.
This story really did not move fast enough for my taste. But, I did enjoy the characters. But all of them make bad decisions and just do not think of the outcomes of these terrible decisions.
I also enjoyed the music scene, especially Judie’s part in the 60s. Just loosey goosey! Emma is a bit more uptight. But these two have a lot to work out!
Y’all know I love a tag team of narrators. It truly makes the book more real. These narrators, Barrie Kreinik; Helen Laser; Stephanie Németh-Parker, are top notch!
