    These songs bounce, buzz and bubble along with timeless life.

    This set might not be as insularly perfect as the Secret Sisters' first album, but it's ultimately just as impressive, if not more so, breaking the duo out of that "honky tonk made of fine glass" feel that could have easily trapped them creatively and artistically.

    Improved songwriting and assured ambition have turned them into formidable recording artists as well.

    An updated Dylan song, Dirty Lie, and the gospel-bound River Jordan add variety to an enjoyable if uneven set that's a big step forward.
