    Numero focus on the music of 'lost' group, Female Species. The sisters who formed the band in the 60s would eventually go on to forge careers in the music business, working on their craft while bouncing around the country and eventually landing as staff songwriters for music publishing companies in Nashville in the ‘80s and ‘90s. With songs sequenced chronologically, 'Tale of My Lost Love' offers a chance to follow the Gossetts on their journey through one of the most fertile stretches in American popular music with styles that range from 60s pop to soft psychedelia and FM/soft rock.
