It all began in 1993, when Little Sister signed a recording deal with Gallo Music Productions. On the 15th of May a top producer from the USA, Mike Flicker jetted into South Africa to produce the brand new album.
Along the Way was born at the renowned Bop Studios and the album features twelve hit tracks, appealing to both local and international markets. According to Debbi and Jenni Lonmon “Acoustically Along the Way is our best album yet, we have grown as musicians and songwriters and are ready to conquer the world.” All songs are arranged by Mike Flicker and Little Sister. For the first time ever, Little Sister boast a fully fledged rhythm section, with a sixth member included into the band.
I have been approached by many female fronted pop/rock groups in the past and up to this point have abstained from any participation. Nothing I have heard or seen to date ever moved me to the extent that Heart did, so I have declined the offers. Aside from the obvious balance between the Lonmon Sisters and the Wilson Sisters, I feel that Little Sister has a unique, youthful, 90s approach (especially in their vocal styling), to basic street level rock and roll that I feel gives them the potential to be a powerful influence in the international pop/rock market place.
