The McClymonts - Wrapped Up Good
By:George Peden
They come from a land down under. A place where women glow and men plunder. Can you hear the thunder…you’d better run, you’d better take cover.
The McClymonts are set to explode.
Like Oz talent Keith Urban, who wrestled American radio and industry for years, the climb has been slow, but these talented Australian sisters look like they are ready for the hard-set wall of Nashville to fall.
The trio --Brooke, Samantha, and Mollie –after captivating Oz with seven singles and two well-received albums are winning over audiences with their latest, Wrapped Up Good. The proof, if needed, is the convincing win of the recent CMA Global Country Artist Award, and to add more flavour to their Xmas pudding, the multi-talented gals have the envied distinction of having played the Grand Ole Opry this year –twice.
Impressive.
America has discovered what Australia knows – these gals from a small town in New South Wales rock.
Now with an album that has four #1 Australian country singles --“Kick It Up,” “Wrapped Up Good,” “Hearts on Fire,” and “A Women Is A Flame,” – the album is priming Stateside radio, with several tracks on high rotation.
If you like spirited harmony, tight playing and infectious pop/rock/country, check out The McClymonts. They write, they play, and they sing, all in take notice style. The production here is slick, and the highly charged band pull tight on an album that may miss stuffing the stocking under your tree, but is a definite party popper for New Year.
Which are the standout tracks on this 12-tune release from one of Australia’s country music favorites?
All of them!
