THE WHOLE SHEBANG
SheDAISY

DVD Audio DTS 5.1

Review by Mark Wiechman

Album ***

On their first major label release, the trio of Kristyn, Kelsi, and Kassidy Osborn, better known as SheDAISY, sound like Wilson Phillips singing with the Gin Blossoms as their back-up band and heavy southern accents in their voices.  They are sisters, of course and quite attractive ones, with an image seemingly aimed at the teen Christian female audience. 

But that comparison might be unfair; they have better vocal ranges and range of expression than Wilson Phillips ever did.   Though there’s nothing here that will change the course of one's life or the music industry, it’s still very well-done and a pleasant listen overall.  If you want a great-sounding album that won’t offend anyone, here it is:  eleven tracks of country pop ranging from kick-up-your-heels fun to the obligatory somber ballads.  Of all the songs, "Lucky 4 You" is the standout track. 

Audio ****

Despite having very little to distinguish it from other pop-country productions, this disc is immaculately recorded with angelic harmonies that shine through its superior DTS mix.  All of the instruments are well-spaced and do not interfere with the singing as in some DVD concert videos and DVD-audio discs.
