The Ball Sisters Band
Old Lonesome Sounds

BY JOE ROSS

From Rogersville, Tennessee, The Ball Sisters began playing as a trio in 1988 with Jessica Ball, fiddle, vocals; her sister Cris, mandolin, guitar, vocals; and their father, Randy Ball, guitar, vocals. Bassist John Skelton joined in 1998. Randy penned the title cut as well as Never Say Goodbye, Let The Heartache Start, The One Thing That Is True, and Daddy’s Love, which includes James Alan Shelton on guitar, as does Lonesome Moonlight Waltz. The Ball Sisters Band’s strength may be their stripped-down, raw, melancholic approach to music, emphasizing delicate arrangements and presentation over hard drive. The band’s devout Christian faith is expressed in the closer The One Thing That Is True. BMP
