Kate & Anna McGarrigle are Canadian songwriting sisters whose talents came to global recognition in 1974 when Linda Ronstadt recorded Anna's "Heart Like A Wheel." The McGarrigle Sisters were signed to Warner Brothers and recorded three albums. The sisters then recorded two albums for Joe Boyd's label, Hannibal, in the early '80s. In 1998, they joined Boyd along with family and friends to record The McGarrigle Hour. Ryko celebrates The McGarrigle Hour as part of the Ryko Analogue Vinyl Series. This version includes a set of liner notes from Joe Boyd, penned especially for this LP release.
