	McGarrigle, Kate and Anna
		Born of French-Canadian and Irish parents in St-Sauveur-des-Monts, northwest of Montreal, the sisters Anna (b 4 Dec 1944) and Kate (b 6 Feb 1946, B SC McGill 1969) studied music at the local convent.
		Anna's 'Heart Like a Wheel' was recorded in 1972 by McKendree Spring and, as the title song of an LP, in 1975 by Linda Ronstadt; Anna's 'Work Song' and Kate's 'Cool River' and 'Lying Song' were included on LPs by Maria Muldaur in this same period.
		Anna's, lilting and airy, Kate's, deeper and fiercer - these are amongst the very best voices to be heard in popular music today.' The McGarrigles returned to Europe the following year but generally maintained a sporadic touring schedule.

	CANOE -- JAM! Music - Artists - McGarrigle, Kate & Anna: The McGarrigles escape the usual
		Born two years after her sister Anna in 1946, Kate McGarrigle is an absolute riot, like a worldly auntie you have a secret crush on as a kid.
		Kate is the kind of person you want to be if you live for a while, fickle with subject matter and confidently creative, evidenced by her work on The McGarrigle Hour a couple years back, or in ghostly duets with Anna on Cave's No More Shall We Part.
		McGarrigle is throwing coffee bags to her daughter when I reach her in Montreal, and there's something sassy and wholesome about the scene.

	Music: McGarrigle
		Indeed, The McGarrigle Hour unites, or reunites, not only Kate and Anna's families proper but also many of the people who helped them create their first two landmark albums of the mid-late '70s, Kate and Anna McGarrigle and Dancer With Bruised Knees.
		But so is Anna's lesser-known brood, including the husband she met while singing in the '60s with the Mountain City Four, Dane Lanken, and their children Sylvan and lovely-voiced Lily Lanken, who might be the next of the clan to break out.

	City Pages - Family Affair
		Since they hit (in absentia) through Linda Ronstadt's cover of their 1976 ballad "Heart Like a Wheel," Kate and Anna have playfully turned their parlor on the outskirts of Montreal into a stage where the pull of family, the trials of commitment, and the sexy, alluring magic of domestic bliss are rendered as powerful drama.
		Kate and Loudon are divorced, and he has long made his living off being bitter about this, and everything else.
		Aided by decades of distance, Kate, Anna, and Loudon deliver a sweetly triumphant reading of 1970's "Schooldays," which the sisters describe in their liner notes as Loudon's "wry comment on the hubris of adolescence." Here, it plays as a bitter reminiscence about the risks of losing one's sense of immaturity.

	For Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Music Is a Family Affair
		The McGarrigles, who will appear with their posse of Montreal friends and relatives on Tuesday night at Zankel Hall, are a beloved fixture of my musical and emotional life.
		Anna is now 58, and Kate 57; they were born 14 months apart.
		Kate has a husky, confiding, yet emotionally fragile voice; Anna's sounds even more fragile in a sweet, childlike way, with a particularly haunting upper register for high harmonies.

		With an intriguing mix of original songs, traditional ballads and covers, "The McGarrigle Hour" is as much a family reunion as it is a retrospective capturing the essence of 30 years of music making.
		Anna's husband, Dane Lankan, and their children Sylan and Lily make appearances here, as do family friends Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris and Kate and Anna's sister Jane.
		Raised in a musical household in Canada, the McGarrigle sisters have taken special care throughout their career to record traditional songs, and several -- including "Dig My Grave" and "Baltimore Fire" -- are included here.

	McGARRIGLE, Kate and Anna : MusicWeb Encyclopaedia of Popular Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		(Kate b '46, Anna '44, both in Quebec) Canadian folksinging/songwriting sisters, grew up in a French-speaking family surrounded by traditional music.
		They sang with their parents and briefly with sister Jane as the McGarrigle Sisters; also played at several instruments.
		It is one of those albums that retains its unique charm a decade later; perhaps inevitably, Dancer With Bruised Knees '77 was regarded as a disappointment, but Pronto Monto '78 redressed the balance, and The French Album '81 displayed their bilingual abilities in the chanson style, self-produced on local Hannibal label.

		The songs on Kate and Anna McGarrigle's second album suffer only when compared to the impossible bounty achieved with their self-titled debut two years earlier.
		Even early in their career, the McGarrigles were already wise beyond their years (not to mention their more conventional singer/songwriter peers), sustaining a wistfulness that has continued throughout their work.
		Kate's songs seem a little more dated, because her lyrics are generally more important than the music, but her lyrics are as always a little off-center and funny.

		Sure, the McGarrigles have earned bigger royalties from Linda Ronstadt's precious covers of their bittersweet tunes (like "I Cried for You" here, which Linda called "I've Had Enough").
		The CD's quirky techno-pop opening is a bit strange, yet as an eccentricity it works better than the rock attempt of "Move Over Moon." Of course, the McGarrigles are best when they stick to 19th-century parlor music, accordion-backed French-Canadian chansons, and folk and pop.
		Still, after only seven McGarrigle albums in 20 years, it's good to have this one back in print.

		These days, there's a danger that Kate McGarrigle could become better known for who she is, rather than what she does.
		She and her sister Anna emerged from Montréal in the mid-1970s to shake up the country, rock and folk scenes with their blend of gentle songs, breathy, delicate and elegant harmonies and classy multi-instrumental work.
		Kate plays guitars, banjo, piano and violin, Anna adds accordion and the occasional dash of synthesizer, and Martha helps out on harmonies.
