In the mid-1990's, in the wake of the Grunge movement, record labels scrambled to have as much of an eclectic roster as they could get. A Folk revival was already on the move, and Geffen Records brought us The Dear Janes, a duo comprised of two female vocalists: one American, one British.
While they released their debut in 1994, their Stateside debut came two years later, with 1996's "No Skin". It's an album that spans from the sultry to the somber, with Ginny Clee and Barbara Marsh's harmonies sinking deep with each breath.
I'm having a hard time finding their 1994 CD, but I came across "No Skin" at a Goodwill and, after seeing it was available absolutely nowhere online, I decided it needed to be shared. The very few videos on YouTube seem to always have people commenting "I wish there were more of these songs online", and the official Dear Janes site hasn't been updated since 2007 (and even then, most of the content was from their then-recent album "Skirt").
Fans of female-led Folk should really enjoy this one. Give it a listen!
