Daughters of the Purple Sage
Specializing in arrangements of songs that millions of listeners have loved from the golden era of the American West and the Silver Screen cowboys, Daughters of the Purple Sage are internationally acclaimed for their rich blend and stunning harmony. The trio's nostalgic, signature performances of such classics as Tumblin' Tumbleweeds and Shenandoah are legendary. The Daughters have four recordings; Songs of the Golden West, Out Wickenburg Way, Back in the Saddle, and the newly released, highly acclaimed, “Best of the Golden West”, a Special Collector's Edition of their renditions of 24 beloved western tunes. Today, although Daughters of the Purple Sage live in three different states and perform on only rare occasions, the exciting new life they bring to the western genre lives on and is readily available through www.cowgirlmusic.com and Bear Family Records.
