Tell My Sister is a three-disc compilation album released by Nonesuch Records as a box set on May 3, 2011 in the United States, and on May 9, 2011 in the UK. The first two discs contain Kate and Anna McGarrigle's first two albums, Kate & Anna McGarrigle and Dancer with Bruised Knees. The third disc comprises demos, including acoustic versions and other previously unreleased tracks.
Tell My Sister received generally favorable reviews from critics; for example, Andrew Hultkrans of Spin wrote that "The McGarrigles’ songs are deceptively simple, but their inventive arrangements, unpredictable harmonizing, and hints of chanson reveal an eccentric genius." Another favorable review of the album was written by AllMusic's Mark Deming, who gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars. In his review of the album, Deming wrote that it was "a superb tribute to the McGarrigle Sisters' formative years," adding that "while this was doubtless created with serious fans in mind, there are few better introductions to the magic they created than the music included here."
This disc consists entirely of the McGarrigles' first album, Kate & Anna McGarrigle.
This disc consists entirely of the McGarrigles' second album, Dancer with Bruised Knees.
This disc, entitled Tell My Sister consists of previously unreleased recordings by the McGarrigles.
