Rainbow Girls

​Rainbow Girls (from the album Give the People What They Want available as a self-release) 
 
The sonics of Give the People What They Want are an emotive counterpart to the liquid harmonies of Rainbow Girls and the sturdy structures created by guitar and bass lines on the San Francisco Bay Area trio’s recent release. The audio echoes that surround Rainbow Girls cover of Gillian Welch’s “Elvis Presley Blues” transport the threesome to an underground subway tunnel, busking in the waves magical music born of mass transit lines. Give the People What They Want keeps it in the (Welch/Rawlings) family with a cover of Dave Rawlings Machine’s “Ruby”, Rainbow Girls matching the three-part CSN’s harmonies on their version of “Helplessly Hoping” from the Crosby, Stills, and Nash debut.
 
Originally from Santa Barbara, California before heading to the countryside north of San Francisco, Rainbow Girls transform the songs of other artists, coloring the cuts they choose with brand band brushes as each member takes a stand with a verse on Bob Dylan’s “A Hard Rain Gonna Fall” (featuring John Craigie and Ben Morrison). Give the People What They Want revisits hits from Nat King Cole (”L-O-V-E”), opening the doors of the album with “Down Home Girl” (Old Crow Medicine Show, The Rolling Stones, Alvin Robinson) as Rainbow Girls join a roster of artists (The Mill Brothers, Sam Cooke, k.d. Lang) to cover “Smoke Rings”, re-tell John Prine’s “Angel From Montgomery” and spin on scratchy electric chords for Patsy Cline’s “Tennessee Waltz”.
