Dec 21, 2010In other hands, the Rogers' stylistic choices and throwback recording methods-to say nothing of a seemingly bottomless closet of vintage dresses--could seem annoyingly quirky or self-conscious. Instead, it just sounds timeless.
-
Dec 14, 2010Recorded with polish and pluck at Nashville's Blackbird Studio, the 11 tracks on their self-titled debut set sound like they could've been captured at any of the family picnics or church services where the Secret Sisters honed their harmonies singing Doc Watson, Everly Brothers and spirituals.
-
Dec 14, 2010My point is, even on their debut, even when giving us about 80 percent cover songs, the Secret Sisters have a recognizable voice.
-
Dec 14, 2010Pouring out harmonies on originals ("Tennessee Me"), spunky covers (the kitsch classic "Something Stupid") and sublime traditional ballads ("Do You Love an Apple"), they make you believe, for three minutes or so, the lie that music was purer and better way back when.

Dec 14, 2010This type of music has been done before in a different time, same place--the album was recorded in Nashville--but it hasn't been done this well in quite a while.
-
Mar 7, 2011Just simple, old-fashioned talent and charm.

Dec 14, 2010If there's a flaw on this Alabama duo's debut, it's predictability. T-Bone Burnett and Jack White serve as executive producer and mentor, respectively, with Laura and Lydia Rogers putting a sister-act spin on dusty Americana--bet you can hear it already.
