Description
An attractive trio from Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, the Sylte Sisters -- eldest Joan and twin siblings Deanda and Deanna Sylte -- are best known for a string of sleek teenpop singles they released circa 1962-63, though this album appears to be from a few years earlier. A paste-on cover photo shows the gals and their backing band in western gear and cowboy hats, and has the look of a typical cornpone hayride country act. Rary Mountain was the name of a youth camp in Colorado that was an offshoot of Jim Rayburn's "Young Life" organization, a Christian evangelical ministry founded in 1941 -- so its possible this isn't as country as it looks. This 10" LP was recorded live at radio station KCMS, in Colorado Springs, with the sisters on vocals, backed by bassist Jay Grimstead, Dick Lowry on piano, and accordionist Phil McDonald. Alas, there's no date on this disc, although the sisters all look about fifteen or sixteen years old, while they appeared to be in their early twenties when they cut their pop singles. Despite regional success in the Pacific Northwest, dating back to a TV appearance in 1953, the gals never quite broke through nationally, leaving only a handful of recordings to capture their decade-long musical care.. nice record, no inner sleeve
