REVIEW
- MISSOURI MILE/That’s What I
Do (Album)
COWBOYS & INDIANS MAGAZINE,
by David Hofstede
(Posted

"A list of great female country duos
would include The Judds and ... not many
others. Hoping to fill the void left by
Naomi and Wynonna, who are currently on
yet another round of farewell tours and
concerts, are sisters Sheila and Sheena
Orf, billed as Missouri Mile. On That’s
What I Do, the duo show off the polish
that comes from years of preparation in
the workshops of Nashville’s Music Row,
and that extra spark present in the
singers and bands that rise above the
assembly line and offer something
original. Halfway between an EP sampler
and a debut CD, That’s What I Do serves
as a terrific introduction to a new pair
of singing and songwriting aces. From
the sparkling title track to the
touching ballad “I Am a Song” to the sly
sense of humor of “It’s Too Late Now,”
all seven tracks are as catchy as they
are well crafted. While it’s far too
early for comparisons, there’s no
mistaking the similarities in these
traditional midtempo melodies and close
family harmonies with early Judds hits
like “Girls Night Out” and “I Know Where
I’m Going.” Missouri Mile seems to know
where they’re going as well, and it will
be interesting to see where that road
takes them from here."
"The many categories amongst the
country music scene are full of
competition but the one that remains to
be highly competitive is the duo
category. Sugarland and Montgomery
Gentry are always strong contenders in
the category and you now also have up
and coming acts like Steel Magnolia and
Joey + Rory making their mark. So what
type of uniqueness does one need to
bring to the table in this category to
get noticed? With newcomers Missouri
Mile the first aspect of this duo that
grabs your attention is that they are
sisters. A nice start to getting one’s
attention, as it is something a little
different so now it comes down to their
music. With their debut album That’s
What I Do, the siblings bring something
a little different to the genre in that
they were inspired by the classic
country that their father played and
have now incorporated that style into
their own brand of modern traditional
country. With the whine of the fiddle on
their slower paced material combined
with the boot stomping rhythms of their
upbeat material Missouri Mile brings a
style that they can call their own with
a nod to the past to an overcrowded
category of the country music genre.
Also of note, the harmonies presented on
the album are incredible as you can only
get when siblings come together. This is
a very solid album that showcases both
voices very well and shows their ability
to command a song whether it is an
upbeat or slower paced song. This album
is a great find and Missouri Mile is a
duo worth watching."

"They call
themselves Missouri Mile and their release is 'That's What I Do' which
is country harmony at it's best. Every song is well crafted with “I Am A
Song” an outstanding standout. A country harmony must-have."
REVIEW - MISSOURI MILE/That’s What I
Do (Album)
(Posted
9/10/10) by Nashville Music Guide, Vol. 15, Issue 154,
September 2010
"With the release of the their new album That’s
What I Do, Sisters Shelia and Sheena Orf prove they have what
it takes to be the next big duo in country music. Along with producer Byron
Hill, they have written a great collection of songs that showcases the
duo’s amazing sibling harmonies over a really impressive
arrangement of great sounding country music.
It’s difficult to pick favorites on this one but I really like
the first track “All Talk” because
it’s a catchy “tell it like it is” tune that gets your foot
stomping from the first beat and I’ll bet that you’ll
be singing along before it ends. I also recommend the slow tempo track “I Am A Song”. It’s a great metaphorical
song with a beautiful melody that is once again punctuated by the duo’s angelic harmonies. Five Stars."

"A
new sister-duo is hitting country music with a strong Pleasant View
connection.... The sisters are getting the attention and favorable
reviews from some of the most renowned music critics including Robert
Oermann... The debut CD of Missouri Mile cover art is a photo of the
sisters who found an old bathtub as a great backdrop for the photo
shoot."
REVIEW - MUSIC ROW MAGAZINE - MISSOURI MILE/That’s

(Posted 8/4/10) "The title tune to this sister duo’s debut EP is a gentle, brightly
sparkling little ditty with a delightfully delicate tone. Sunny, simple and
ear-catchingly charming."
