AMELITA by Court Yard Hounds NEW CD REVIEW #CYHAmelita

I have been a big fan of The Dixie Chicks in the past - I love that they are strong woman that aren't afraid to use their voice to speak up, even if I don't always agree with them - we need more strong-willed women! I was excited to hear that sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire started up their own group called the Court Yard Hounds!

“We’re a band, not a side project. We like our sound, and we’re going to continue to do this, and share something new this time around.” Robison couldn't be more clear about the game plan for the Court Yard Hounds, the group she and sister Maguire head up, as they get ready to release their second album, Amelita.

After a few years away from the limelight and the Dixie Chicks, the two sisters were ready to get back into the studio with the creation of Court Yard Hounds. Amelita, out now, marks the Court Yard Hounds' second album.

Containing 11 new tracks, Robison and Maguire took a different approach with Amelita than their debut album in 2010. This album contains a new perspective, which is due in part to time passed since Robison’s divorce. The Court Yard Hounds’ new album is a clear statement of who the girls are as artists, defining their sound as a band, with soaring songs that are personal, yet familiar and widely relatable.

I enjoyed listening to this CD and could definitely relate to some of their songs - my favorites were Sunshine and The World Smiles - the stories in the songs definitely touched me when I listened to them. I look forward to hearing more from the Court Yard Hounds in the future!
