Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Inspired by the Oscar®-nominated film The Triplets of Belleville (a French animated movie which features a `40s-style harmony group), The Puppini Sisters -- Marcella Puppini, Kate Mullins, and Stephanie O'Brien -- formed in London. Dressed in 1940's-style wardrobe, the three sing like The Andrews Sisters with inspiring harmonies, and perform classics such as 'Mr. Sandman,' 'In The Mood,' and 'Jeepers Creepers.' But what make The Puppini Sisters truly stand out are their show-stopping interpretations of more current tunes.
From Amazon.co.uk:
From the first strains of the opening track, 'Sisters,' it's clear that Betcha Bottom Dollar is not a typical debut album. But then the Puppini Sisters are not a typical pop act, at least not in the 21st century. Their close, three-part harmonies are reminiscent of the vocal groups of the 1930s and 1940s, and particularly the Andrews Sisters. But rather than sounding like an anachronism, the Puppini Sisters merely demonstrate the timelessness of some of these songs. Betcha Bottom Dollar is fresh, fun and vibrant, blowing the dust off of cobwebby classics like 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' and 'Mr. Sandman'. Elsewhere, they also put their own unique stamp on more recent hits, with varying results. While Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights' and Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' fail to get things swinging, Blondie's 'Heart of Glass' and the Smiths' 'Panic' are both injected with a fresh new (old?) sound. Much credit must also be given to producer Benoit Charest, who manages to employ a whole host of instrumentation and orchestration, whilst never forgetting to put the voices of the Puppini Sisters front and centre. It might be easy to dismiss the Puppini Sisters' debut as another novelty album, but their intentions and love for the style--like their voices themselves--are crystal clear. --Robert Burrow
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Puppinis recreate the sound of the past
The Puppini Sisters' debut album "Betcha Bottom Dollar" is a great throwback to the sounds of such groups as the Andrews Sisters or the King Sisters. What is amazing about these ladies is not only do they do the standards that are most loved, but they take contemporary pop tunes, such as "I Will Survive" and "Heart Of Glass", and apply the 1940's style to them. If you like such singers as Diana Krall or Renee Olstead, then you should check these ladies out. They multiply those singers to the power of three.
Rating: - Love At First Listen
I think I'm in love with the Puppini Sisters. The problem is I don't know which one. Seemlessly weaves 40's swing style into recent rock hits. Wonderful.
Rating: - Sway Deluxe
