I previously posted two full concerts they did, which they had originally posted on YouTube. This, by contrast, is a collection of individual songs that they also originally posted on YouTube. Don't mind the fact that even though this is "Home Concerts 3," the first songs here come before the dates of those two concerts. Close enough for horseshoes! ;)
The Petersens have done some nice originals, but their main forte is cover songs. These are all covers. They also have a special talent for taking songs from all sorts of genres and turning them into acoustic folk tunes. You'll see plenty of that here, with songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen and "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys getting a radical makeover. To some, it might seem gimmicky, but I think it just shows that some songs are just really good songs, so they work well in very different styles if played by talented people.
This album is 44 minutes long.

There are six people in the Petersens band, five of them members of the Petersen family. However, for this album cover, I'm only showing the three sisters, 'cos I thought it's a nice image of the three of them singing into the same microphone. I could be wrong, but I believe this is a screenshot of their video for "Mamma Mia."
Sweet music. Really nice for the festive season.
ReplyDeleteHey, Paul, thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick observation: "If I Needed You" was already included on the first volume. It's really lovely so we can all listen top it several times, but I know you hate double dipping... ;-)
