Perfume, Ribbons & Pearls is the second studio album by American country music group The Forester Sisters. It was released via Warner Bros. Records Nashville in 1986.
Only one single was released from the album: "Lonely Alone", which charted at number 2 on Billboard Hot Country Songs in 1986.[1]
Critical reception
Cliff Radel of The Cincinnati Enquirer rated the album 2 out of 5 stars, calling the singing "clear as the sky on a crisp fall day" but criticizing the "poverty stricken songs".[2] Montreal Gazette writer Lucinda Chodan contrasted the quartet's sound with that of The Judds, stating that "those celestial voices are harmonizing in the service of songs that, for the most part, are about as individual as pennies in a jar." She thought that "100% Chance of Blue" and the cover of The Supremes' "Back in My Arms Again" were the most distinct songs, but still criticized the production.[3]
