Ever wonder why the songs you hear on radio seem to have a little more juice than the versions on your own CD? That's because they do -- they're mixed according to broadcast standards so that they sizzle over the airwaves. These "radio mixes" are rarely released to the public, but SHeDAISY aim to bring their fans up-to-speed with a high-octane remix of their entire 1999 platinum debut, The Whole SHeBANG. Those already on the SHeDAISY bandwagon will appreciate the brighter harmonies and edgy sound that producer Dann Huff delivers for the Utah-born and -bred Osborn sisters (Kristyn, Kelsi, and Kassidy), consistent with the wide-ranging stylistic approach he and the trio employed on SHeDAISY's unusual Christmas album, Brand New Year. Those new to this party might appreciate this new twist on contemporary country -- the amped versions of the hit singles "Little Good-Byes," "This Woman Needs," and especially the frenetic "I Will...But" come complete with hip-hop scratching, distorted hard rock guitars, and a multilayered production that recalls ABBA's most baroque moments, while lesser-known fare, such as the dark but catchy "Punishment" and the infectious " 'Cause I Like It That Way," sounds every bit as grand as the hits, thanks to a new coat of production paint. It's not a bad way to bide one's time until SHeDAISY release their new studio album in early 2002. David McGee, Barnes & Noble
