![]() The Sweet Water Warblers (from the album The Dream That Holds This Child available as a self-release) Vocal harmonies come in all shapes, sizes, and styles, ranging on a scale from two people singing the same song at the same time to intricately woven voices that blend and soar as one. On their debut album, The Dream That Holds the Child, The Sweet Water Warblers use the harmony they create to take the songs off the chart and into a land of magic. With voices barely raised above a whisper, The Sweet Water Warblers open the album with fine-china-fragility, offering “Turn to Stone” as first cut on The Dream That Holds the Child. “Do You Know the Chorus” connects the joy of music down through the ages as the trio add a fourth voice for harmony with Maya DeVitry while The Sweet Water Warblers pen a letter to the night in the slow sway on “Right of Me” and pick the rhythm up to a ramble as they toss one-liner wisdoms into “Wishing Well” (‘when you dig your own grave somebody mistakes it for a wishing well’). The power of three in The Sweet Water Warblers comes together amid the full-on solo careers of its members. In addition to the power of their voices, the women bring style when Lindsay Lou offers the Country Soul and Bluegrass sound of her band to the Appalachian and Country ballads of May Erlewine, blending with the Gospel Soul of Rachael Davis. Shout “Hallelujah” as The Sweet Water Warblers form a conga-line of rhythm, heading on a trip to freedom as a Bluesy shuffle escorts in sunshine with “Summertime” and the band walk with determined strides through “Mad at You” while The Dream That Holds the Child takes the “Righteous Road”, inspiring as it strides into strength born of commitment.
