      Seriously…..these sisters (if they want to) will be on top for……ever?. Even if they changed their mind NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET THEM. I’m so pleased that they’ve chosen to continue. Might this mean “ Mad as a hatter” will become available on an album eventually? Every ones asking girls. Js

      I have to agree wholeheartedly with you there my friend. This one had the hairs on my neck standing up way before Rebecca started singing. The Slide Queen had my heart from the first note, then when the vocals started I was gone and done for.

    This is a GREAT song anyway, but it’s as good as it comes for Megan’s slide. It lets Rebecca show her vocal range too.

      Can be anywhere, that stunning gospel out of “th color purple, it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, with the RatPak and Ella F. Or maybe a fierce, haunting flamenco with Carmen Linares or Bachs Toccata Fuga, the intro rocks my boat. Death letter by Son House or the accapella version of motherless children by Tina Turner. And this one you may not know, Heavenless by Ilse de Lange live. And a lot more. But this Wicked Game, man I so much agree with you. It moves ya, it’s that good!

    Their secret: they make it real. Everything they write, everything they reinterpret, everything they perform. When they're blasting away on stage, they're at the top of their game - and when they perform just as a duo then the emotion is even more intense because it's all on the surface. One of the greatest sister acts of all time.

    Breathtaking. I knew Rebecca would unleash her howling vocal at some point (about the 2 miiinutes in) and it cuts through to take the song to a new level. The extra treat is that Megan not only covers the signature tone and licks, but then she throws in great single note improv toward the end that also elevates the work, and her musicianship, to a new level. The constant steady building of the artistry of these two troubadors is remarkable and not ony enjoyable, but soothing and soulful, especially in a song that contemplates sorrow and loss like this one. They done ya proud Chris!

Over two years ago my father was taken away, house car and everything sold and put in a home in Georgia. Thank you ladies from the bottom of my ❤️.

    It blew my head. I don't remember when a cover made for two voices and two guitars squeezed tears from my eyes. You were so overwhelmingly convincing, as you really made the journey back to 1989. This look of each other, at the end of the piece, reminds me that this journey didn't really take place physically or that you just came back to the present. Congratulations on your sensitivity and artistry. Thank you for a nice Sunday morning, I won't waste it.

    I've been ignoring this on my feed for three days - thought I'd heard it. No I hadn't! As a musician myself, I might have tried it with Rebecca doing the "This World is only going to break your heart" alone and softer, but they might have tried that and decided this worked better. As near perfect as it possible to get. What stunning arrangers they both are! They do this time after time; taking old songs and doing them in ways they've never been done before. Probably my favourite band.
