History
Jypsi was formed in 1994 in
Galena, Illinois [1] by sisters Amber-Dawn, Lillie Mae, and Scarlett Rische, along with their brother, Frank.
[2] After several years of playing locally, the band was discovered in 2000 by
Cowboy Jack Clement, a
record producer from
Nashville, Tennessee.
[3] They performed in Nashville for several years before being signed to
Arista Nashville in 2007. In late 2007, Jypsi began work on its debut album.
[4] The group's first single was entitled "Love Is a Drug",
but it did not chart and was not put on the album. "I Don't Love You Like That", its follow-up, reached a peak of #38 on the
Billboard
Hot Country Songs charts. Jypsi's self-titled debut album was released in May 2008, but only to digital retailers. It includes the song "Now That's All Right with Me", previously released by
Mandy Barnett on her 1996 self-titled debut.
Country Standard Time
gave the album a favorable review, with reviewer John Lupton saying, "Though it takes a little while to get it going, their self-titled debut demonstrates that there is indeed some substance to the [attractive] image as well."
[5] Lead singer Lillie Mae Rische made a guest appearance on the track "God Knows Who I Am" on
Montgomery Gentry's 2008 album
Back When I Knew It All
.
[6] The quartet's third single, "Mister Officer," was released in August 2009.
