A couple of the McGarrigles records were mainstays of cutout bins in the late 70s. They got the most attention when Linda Ronstadt covered Heart Like a Wheel. My favorites are French Record and Love Over and Over. I wasn't as crazy about Heartbeats Accelerating.

I too saw them play in the late 70s/early 80s and was simply blown away.

Plus, can anyone recommend any of The McGarrigle sisters' albums. I see their names pop up in some Top 100 Album lists and wonder about them, but can't find them in the record shops. Were
they ever "big" in the states?
A couple of albums have already been mentioned - a particularly love the debut, while the McGarrigle Hour has the bonus of having the whole extended family on it, in various different combinations, and having a mesmerising debut (as far as I know) from Martha Wainwright called Year Of The Dragon, which is just wonderful, and makes me wonder when we'll here more from her.

I'd like to put in a personal shout for Heartbeats Accelerating, which is in some ways my favourite Kate & Anna album. The voices are older and wiser and still sound lovely, the harmonies are as delectable as ever, and the songs are terrific, ending with a spine-tingling rendition of the old cowboy standard St James Hospital.
