A few years ago, the two sons of legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb formed a band called, unsurprisingly enough, The Webb Brothers. They were rather good, and it's forgivable if you get rather excited seeing The Webb Sisters, thinking that more of Jimmy's offsprings have turned their hands to music.
It's not the case though, Charley and Hattie Webb are no relation to the Wichita Linesman creator and actually come from Kent. Not that you'd know it though, for I Still Hear It reeks of classic FM American rock. There's a pretty piano motif running through the song and the girls have the requisite harmonies and wistful vocals all down to a tee.
The trouble is it's not very memorable and rather bland. It will no doubt slot right into place in the middle of the day on Radio 2 and if you're desperate for a retread of Fleetwood Mac, then no doubt The Webb Sisters will do you just fine. Yet there's an awful lot of these middle of the road ballads around and this does nothing to make it stand out from the crowd.
