The Burns Sisters – Endangered Species (1989)

This, their second release, is rooted squarely in the melodic rock/AOR genre, inspired with powerful songs, a huge production and outstanding harmony vocals throughout. Came out in 1989 by Columbia Records and produced by Bob Marlette and David Kershenbaum. The label, CBS, just totally dropped the ball, threw them off track and missed the chance to make them superstaresses.

“The King Is Going To Fall” is the perfect uplifting song for today as well as the time it was written – in the eighties. Their tough-girl attitudes combined with catchy 80s melodies and a healthy abundance of drums and electric guitars makes for a very winning formula, and if you think The Angels had a tough attitude, The Burns Sisters really bring out the “don’t mess with my boyfriend” feeling on their brilliant cover of “My Boyfriend’s Back”. An album not to be missed if you find it…
