Description
Sure, they could have given their band a more provocative name, like the Chic Chanteuses or the Julie Andrews Sisters. Instead, Sara Hickman, ex-Dixie Chicks singer Robin Macy and Patty Lege of local bluegrass band Red Oak decided to christen their part-time trio the Domestic Science Club, a tongue-in-cheek homage to a strong-willed, turn-of-the-century group of Guthrie, Okla. homemakers whose inner-strength-in-numbers work ethic made them hometown heroines.
Instead of cozying up to radio formats or worrying about being demographically correct, these playful songs come across as a collective sigh of relief, a swinging celebration of the simple pleasures of making music together.
From the finger-popping, supper-club jazz of Ms. Hickman's Secrets of Love to the twangy charm of Jon Ims' (and Tim Irvin's) I Love You to the bluesy romance of Lisa Brandenburg's Peaches and Cream...the trio showcases the range of its agile voices.
The giddy mood is heightened by the double-entendre-laden Sweet Tooth and Kayaking, a show tune-style tribute to the bonding experience of shooting the rapids and bailing water with someone you love. But the most pleasant surprises come when the Domestic Science Club plays it straight: The a-cappella Working Man cleverly updates the haunting strains of an old chain-gang work song by lamenting life with a modern-day workaholic; and Ms. Macy's luscious, fiddle-spiced Talk to Me, the most irresistible pop song to bubble out of the local-music scene in years.-David Okamoto-The Dallas Morning News
