Album: The Henry Girls

The Henry Girls are the sisters Karen, Lorna and Joleen McLaughlin, who hail from Donegal. Louder Than Words is their fourth album, and is as polished an affair as one might expect from a group with so much studio experience. Eight of the ten tracks are their own compositions, which sit comfortably alongside covers of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Reason to Believe’ and John McBreen’s ‘So Long Not Goodbye’.

Between them, the sisters play fiddle, harp and accordion. Their singing, however, is their strongest point. Their voices are easy on the ear and clear as glass, and interweave with a natural grace that complements the lightness of the melodies.
