Does anyone remember a trio that was known as The Ranting Sleazos?   I met them about a dozen years ago when they were visiting the U.S.   The group consisted of three women - Pat Wilson, Eileen Ashton, and Jane Leffman. They sang accapella and performed wonderful traditional and contemporary songs.   They gave me an album (vinyl!) called "Never Lost For Words" which features their renditions of "Harriet Tubman", "Must I Be Bound", "Blow Away the Morning Dew", Utah Phillips "Bread and Roses" plus original compositions. I was struck by one song called "Behind the Door" which was about a child who was found living in an apartment with her single mother who had passed away. Very moving.

Does anyone remember them? I have not heard or seen anything about the group so I'm guessing they are no longer together as a group. I would be very interested in hearing what they are up to. I still play the LP on my show.
