Ok I'm listening right now. No point in arguing this stuff (feel it coming?) BUT( I will anyway :-P), for one, it's only 3 part. Alison Krauss/Union Station regularly sing 4 parts, and they are flawless live. Check out the album New Favorite, particularly the song "Daylight." But besides that, you said ever, and that's just silly. I mean, if your talking all vocal groups ever? C'mon, get real.

Ok the song finally loaded. Boring 5-1 progression over and over. Those harmonies are cake. Check "Daylight" by AKUS if you want to hear really tight, intricate, spot on harms. My 2 cents. Like I said, no real point arguing. But that's my take.

In my view The Chicks harmony is good but not great. Allison and Union Station are an order of magnitude better.

AKUS are wonderful, aren't they? We are huge fans and have followed her for many years. Flawless--that's exactly what their live harmonies are. It's so obvious when they're playing that they are really enjoying themselves. They're looking around at each other and grinning like they're thinking "Can you believe they pay us money to have this much fun?"

I heartily agree with your assessment.When I heard a few of their first releases,I was so so on their music.After that,it seemed the same stuff over and over, only they became hard to take on the ears.They dumped a classy girl who helped form the band for the big mouth one.Their reasoning being,to move in a different direction.Translated,meaning money.Natalie's dad is a prominent figure as a great steel player with contacts in the music biz.They didn't remain loyal to a fellow band member,so how could they be expected to remain loyal to anyone else!The Pres.and their fans!They reap what they sow.
