MELINDA SCHNEIDER & BECCY COLE Queen of Hearts

A Mother's Day tribute utilising the fabulous Australian country singers Melinda Schneider and Beccy Cole who are two of the nation's pre-eminent singers who came together to record an album of classic female country songs with the apt title 'Great Women of Country and the Songs that Made them'.
With very different vocal tones and style, Beccy and Melinda do great justice to a generous amount of iconic tracks on their duet album. I chose this recording, as the best known (although not the original) version by Juice Newton is pretty hard to top. but these two ladies give it a red hot go! I love the unique qualities they bring to this set, and they seem to be having a great old time doing it, as well. They filmed a very cute vid for their version of '9 to 5' - check it out - it gives people a sense of the performers and their great approach. Melinda is the daughter of yodelling superstar Mary Schneider, and Beccy's mum Carole Sturtzel was regarded as the Queen of Country Music in South Australia. For me it is a lovely opportunity here to be able to post a clip of these two wonderful daughters and celebrate the terrific careers they have both carved out for themselves. Both have multiple Golden Guitar awards (Australia's Country Music Prizes) and have scored many hits from their already prolific catalogues.
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mums out there.
