The Secret Sisters Soar Once Again

Soundcheck | May 22, 2017

Promising act with big-name supporters gets signed to record label. Record(s) didn't do as well as hoped. Promising act dropped from record label. Luckily, the story for Laura and Lydia Rogers, The Secret Sisters, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama didn’t end there. Instead, they returned home and with the help of folk-rocker Brandi Carlisle as producer, wrote music to document the hardship, and rekindled/reclaimed their creative spirits in the surroundings of Alabama and the Pacific Northwest. They're back with an excellent album of soul-baring, harmonious tunes, You Don't Own Me Anymore, due out early in June.

The Secret Sisters' soaring, splendid harmonies wouldn’t be out of place singing country music, church music, murder ballads, or barbershop. They join us in the studio to play songs from the record.

In the video below, they find renewal on a river, with a little help from their friends:
