Sublime. And how wonderful that Kate's two precious children have followed in her musical footsteps.

Harmony singing within a family makes me well up….love it…..

Years ago my older brother played the record of Kate and Anna singing this song. I loved it, and still do. Merci!

This song "Talk to Me of Mendocino" wrote by the then young sisters Kate and Anna mcGarrigle was first released in 1976, some 46 years ago. In 1976 long before the laptop computers, or smartphones, or the internet, it would have been spirited and a spiritual adventure to head west to California from New York state, and that's what I feel when I listen to this song. It's sad really reminiscing on the long ago and far away. A beautiful song.

Remembering Kate McGarrigle born on February 6, 1946. She was a Canadian folk music singer-songwriter, who wrote and performed as a duo with her sister Anna McGarrigle. She is the mother of singers Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright from her marriage to American singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III, which ended in divorce. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_McGarrigle

Tears running down my face...

Loved them in my 20's and always return for more... now in my 60's.

I’ve loved the Magarrigles since the 70’s. I first heard them when I was living in Dublin and was pretty homesick.

Some of the most unique and perfect harmonies I have ever heard. Her like we shall never see again

'Let The Sun Rise Over The Redwoods I'll Rise With It 'Til I Rise No More' Musical genius.

I held my breath all the way through, I didn’t realise it, but wanted to hear every little nuance of these amazing harmonies on such a beautiful song 🙏

Maybe just me but some of the most beautiful music I have heard.😊

Such beautiful musical moments forever cherished.🫶

I am very happy to mae this fantastic Discovery about your Mother Kate, Rufus & Martha : it wasa fabulous Life in yourFamily and I'm enjoy to see that Love reigns together - it is very warm in my hart !!! thank you for your existence present and past !! love love love !!! Marie-Laure (from France)

The thing is - The Wainwrights and McGarrigles .are a step higher. Sadly they will be appreciated by the minority. However, let's continue to go to their concerts. Rufus and Loudon tour constantly and Martha is making a name for herself all over the world. Sorry I just missed you in Glasgow Loudon, but I'll see you in Leicester Rufus. Wow, can't wait to see you. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Beautiful harmonizing! Seemed like Peter, Paul n Mary! Amazingly talented family!

Got this holy song on several vinyls and discs...this one is very holy. Omg omg

Heartbreakingly beautiful

Wish there was a "LOVE" button to click on

greatest sound ever; and i am a Beatles guy; as a life long wilderness paddler I just wish their kind of talent would some how go into making the movie about wilderness paddling.

Thank you .

I have the original self-titled album and I believe their second ,a Dancer with Bruised Knees --great Duo .I saw Louden Wainwright when he sang at The Gaslight in Greenwich Village in the late 60s. I now include his popular song Yhe Swimming song when I do Open Mic sets.

Oh soooo beautiful and so moving. Brings tears to my eyes and memories of the sisters

Yes superb music.sadly missed

Stunning 🤩

So great to hear just a bit of Peter's voice at the end.

Absolutely marvellous!!!

Magnifique !!❤😍

Fantastic🌹

Beautiful.

Great song and interpretation. Then again it is sad that Kate is no longer with us.

Magical

Noting quite as sweet as family harmonies. No family quite as talented as this one.

please adopt me into your gorgeous family ❤

😍😍

Ah...the yearning to rise.

I agree with you.

I really am going to have to disagree with you on that. Listen to ANYTHING from the "Tell My Sister" release by the McGarrigle sisters. That woman was a goddess and had such a wonderful voice. I'm just blown away.

Love this song since verrrry long - pls tell me in what key it is - none of my 7 Hohner harmonica fis in ;-((

Anna much missed

The McGarrigle sisters were pretty successful, and were pretty prominent songwriters. Same with Loudon, I mean he wasn't Bob Dylan or Lenard Cohen or anything but they weren't nobodies.

Oh dear, please look at other mails. I don't agree with you. think the Wainwrights and McGarrigles are a great mixture and I hope it all continues for as long as poss. including perhaps if they want to - Arcangelo and little Viva. Look forward to seeing some other fans on 3rd July in Leicester.

#what???

Aaaagh. Sorry, but Rufus and Martha are way off pitch. Admittedly, it's pretty hard to come close to Kate and Anna's studio vocals. As one who has listened to the original for 48 years, this was horrible.
