Sisters Eleanor and Bonnie Whitmore, two of roots music's most accomplished songwriter/instrumentalist/vocalists, released their frst album together as The Whitmore Sisters in 2022

Titled 'Ghost Stories', inspired by the loss of family, friends, ex boyfriends and - on the title track- people who died by police violence. These ghosts chose to appear right as Covid became entrenched -when live music evaporated, and people were isolated from each other.

Bonnie, whose four solo albums are all state- of- a- real- woman's- heart jewels, decided to join sister Eleanor and her husband Chris Masterson in their Los Angeles closed circle for a break. Chris, who's recorded four albums with his wife as The Mastersons, saw the visit as an opportunity to issue a mandate: If Bonnie was coming, it was time for the sisters to make a record.
Not just an album, but "the album" - the musical inevitability that's been simmering since a 22-year-old Eleanor was protecting her curly-headed 15-year-old sister at gigs in local bars. The Whitmore Sisters' original songs, along with two covers - a song by their pal Aaron Lee Tasjan ("Big Heart Sick Mind" and "On the Wings of a Nightingale" (written by Paul McCartney for iconic siblings The Everly Brothers) - was produced by Chris Masterson and completes 'Ghost Stories'.
