The word is out about the Misses Laura and Lydia Rogers: musical luminaries like T. Bone Burnett and Jack White have endorsed these sister songbirds and produced their tracks, and they're currently on tour with Ray Lamontagne. I first heard about these lovely ladies over at Q's Daydream this fall, and ever since then I've been smitten with their old-fashioned close-harmony tunes and adorable vintage aesthetic. Their traditional country and Americana songs ring with authenticity, for the girls are indeed a modern Carter Family act: prior to the audition that landed them their record deal, they'd never performed outside of their church in their rural Alabama hometown! They seem so refreshingly earnest, and they have serious talent as well, with sibling harmony chops to rival the Everly Brothers.
And if their rootsy old-time country songs aren't enough to sway you, check out their victory rolls, perfect red lipstick, and cute 1940s looking print dresses! They are always turned out in a lovely retro style reminiscent of the rural Southern landscape and dusty country music halls from which their lyrics sprung. Their sweet style and sweeter songs are so inspiring to me this spring!
That video is so sweet! I somehow missed them on Q's... thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI love the video & their style! I am going to go find some more of their music now.
ReplyDeleteoh, I Loooove Ray LaMontagne, and now I love these gals. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love them!! Their music sounds so genuinely old-fashioned, they've captured what was so great about old country music. And they have amazing style too!

You know I love them!!! ;o)
ReplyDeletethanks for posting this I really like these ladies!!! Great music and style both.
ReplyDeleteI am literally listening to them right now. They're fantastic, I adore them. Speaking of Americana music, have you checked out The Civil Wars? They're like bluegrass/roots rock and they're great.

I've been into these gals for a while. Sadly they aren't coming to my neck of the woods anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteHow funny, I'd just discovered Secret Sisters too and even though I don't like country music much I fell in love with their sound. I'm going to try and see them here in Chicago in a couple of weeks!
