Girl Bros.-Girl Bros.

Girl Bros. is the named used by Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman. They had been in Prince’s Revolution before recording as a duo. I had their Eroica album on cassette that I thought had a few good songs on it so I bought this CD when I saw it in 1998. Wendy’s brother Jonathan, who had been touring with The Smashing Pumpkins at the time, had died from a heroin overdose before recoding the CD and Wendy and Lisa each wrote a song as a tribute to him. Wendy wrote “Bring You Back and Lisa wrote “Jonathan” with just Lisa singing and playing an acoustic guitar. “If I Were Brave” is the song I put on one of my mix tapes. I also like “I Will”. “I’ve Got No Strings” a cover song by someone I don’t know is also pretty good. A decent CD but not as good as Eroica which did have a vinyl release in Europe. They put out one more album in 2008 but nothing since then.
