CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description Shout Sister Shout is comprised of Rachel Davis on lead vocals with the band Steppin In It providing the musical backing. The Lansing Michigan based Shout Sister Shout focuses on old-time American Jazz featuring torch swing numbers alongside bluesy ballads. Hit That Jive came together when after playing concerts as a double bill, Rachael Davis and the boys from Steppin In It found a common love for Jazz music of the 1930 s and 40 s. The summer of 2006 found the two acts working at the same festivals, which led to joining each other for a classic tune by Nat King Cole or Billie Holiday during their respective sets. By mid summer, the quintet was dubbed Shout Sister Shout and an album was in the works. Although both are known nationally for their folk repertoire, Shout Sister Shout stretches them in the realm of old-time American Jazz with torch swing numbers alongside bluesy ballads. Steppin In It, known for their revival of old-time music, provide the perfect backdrop for Rachael Davis who posses a voice that demands your attention. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsRachael Davis - Leave the Boys Behind Douglas McKinnon Jr. | Tijeras, NM | 04/08/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "First, thanks to MC Records for taking a flyer on a group with virtually no commercial potential. The group harks back 10 years to the swing revival and has elements of Squirrel Nut Zippers, Dan Hicks and Hot Club of Cowtown minus those groups' solid original material. To compensate, these young folks are wise students of 30s-40s tunes, some of which are obscure enough to pass for originals. To a large degree, the group succeeds because of the exquisite, yet natural voice of Rachael Davis who doesn't attempt to imitate Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald or any recognizable icon. Her warmth and voice quality are better showcased on ballads, with the jive aspects far less convincing. I urge all jazz stations to play her version of "Moonlight in Vermont", by far the highlight of the CD, with an interesting overdub of chromatic and bass harmonicas by the trumpet player, the most accomplished instrumentalist in the group. As used to happen in the old days, an outstanding lead singer will go out on his/her own to become successful. A jazz label should grab Rachael Davis, put her with some solid players, and let her revive Ella's composer songbooks. Her brilliance is evident here, but in no way fully realized."
