Sensational Aussie siblings The McClymonts have almost entirely recorded original material across their career which is now a dozen years old! Winning every award that Australia can gift them, Brooke, Sam and Mollie have straddled country and pop during those years and for me, the past 10 years I have been a big big fan; following their exquisite harmonies and penchant for writing catchy and soulful songs. Their music has helped me during what has been a really turbulent decade in my life, and there is nothing quite like powerful harmonies and vocals to soothe and uplift. Here, The McClymonts have tackled Cat Stevens'  classic 'The First Cut'; a composition that was first recorded half a century ago by P.P Arnold and soon after by Cat himself. Countless artists have revived it; including Rod Stewart and Sheryl Crow. It is of no surprise to me that country music would be a strong part of my musical treasure trove; with my earliest influences being 'Fairytale' by The Pointer Sisters, 'Misty' by Ray Stevens, 'Another Somebody Done Somebody Another Wrong Song' by B.J Thomas and 'Oh Boy' by Aussie Diana Trask. Over 5 decades, country music has offered much in the way of pure emotion and poetic brilliance that endure way beyond their record date.

 I hope all who experience the sweet sister vocals of The McClymonts enjoy them as much as I do.
