Album Notes

The Righteous Mothers are four funny, philosophical female folk-rock musicians who have been one of the Northwest’s foremost musical performing groups for the past 25 years.

This CD is a compilation of some of their best songs of the past 25 years. It includes some of their funniest, boldest and 3 hankie tear jerkers too.

Comments/reviews from others regarding the Righteous Mothers include:

“These are not social critics masquerading as musicians. They are a quartet of women who phrase their sentiments in marvelously inventive music that ranges from rock to jazz to gospel to blues to folk, all with tight and complex harmonies, backed with guitar, keyboards, bass and percussion.”
Bill Fischer, Musical Director/Producer

“The Righteous Mothers have something to say and say it well – with insight, humor and power. Harmony has never been better.”

Rod Kennedy, Founder and Producer
Kerrville Folk Festival

“If you google ‘progressive feminist folk’ you wil come up with only one band – The Righteous Mothers. Simply put, this progressive feminist folk band is a one of a kind musical experience that defies conventional folk music with biting humor and philosophical overtures.”

Tony Engelhart, Weekly Volcano

“They’re a band of mothers, voices raised together in sometimes poignant, sometimes piercing social comment, in tender tributes and naughty humor…”

Susan Paynter, Seattle Post Intelligencer

“Weavers + B. Midler + The Roches = The Righteous Mothers”

The Seattle Weekly

“I love the Righteous Mothers!!”

Christine Lavin

25th Anniversary
author: Marti Canatsey
I loved the CD, and attended the Yakima concert. I stayed for the second half of the concert and missed my great nephews birthday party. Guess I'm a great fan of the Righeous Mothers, but not a great aunt. Thank goodness we sent the birthday present ahead.

"Knock it off, or we'll take it off" (both meanings!)should have been the rallying cry every day during the George W. Bush too-many years. Hopefully the Mothers will have less to protest against during Obama's tenure. The songs and irreverent spirit of the Mothers is unequaled and superb!

The Righteous Mothers 25th Anniversary
author: Marijane Mercer
I have been the articles editor of MOTHERING MAGAZINE for 25 years and this album captured much of what we want to say to mothers all over this planet. You are strong, have fun, you are not alone and what a miracle you are.... just like the lyrics and harmonies of these talented women. Makes me smile each time I hear the first 4 measures because I know what is coming next.
