American folk duo The Chapin Sisters recently released their new album
"Today's Not Yesterday," their first release of original material in
five years. Their last album "A Date With The Everly Brothers," made
its way up the Billboard Heatseekers chart and they look to repeat that
accomplishment with this new album. It features 12 songs, mostly written
in New York, and recorded in sunny Los Angeles. Beginning with the slow
sway of "Autumn," you instantly fall in love with their harmonies. They
add a pop element to the up-tempo acoustic strumming of "Angelino" and
their emotional delivery of "Getaway" has The Chapin Sisters working in
perfect unison for success. They bring in the blues for "Child," before
swinging to the country sounds of "Love Come Back." The album finishes
up with the gentle touch of "There Will Be A Time" as their voices soar
in unison and the country/folk sing-along of "We Will Not Stop." To find

"Gravedigger" and continuing with the equally dark lyrics of "My Mamma
Said." The gentle, sweet sounds of "Cecil Hotel" tells the story of a
wanted man waiting to be caught for his crimes. Her storytelling lyrics
