Why CocoRosie are smarter than Joss Stone
It could just be because they've got a smarter mother.
Joss canned her ma, because she wanted a "proper" manager.
Sierra and Bianca Casaday, though, put their faith in their mother...:
"We recently hired our mom to manage us," Sierra announces. "She sent us a message today to tell us she got us our first contact in the record industry, a producer."
"Rick Rubin," Bianca says, questioningly. "What records did he do?"
Several multi-million-selling albums by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Bianca screws up her face. Beastie Boys. System of a Down. Johnny Cash. She looks rather nonplussed. "Did he do anything that's not rock?" she asks. Johnny Cash? Still no reaction. Johnny Cash is apparently not "not rock" enough.
"We don't like rock," she continues. "I think the electric guitar solo thing is... a little too macho. Dudes with guitars... not our thing."

Maybe they could pass their mother on to Joss Stone?
