Their stunning musical debut was recorded in Nashville in a mere two weeks in legendary Blackbird studios.

The 10-song valentine - helmed by acclaimed producer Dave Cobb (Waylon Jennings, Jamey Johnson), manages to evoke, dare we say, even loftier pop latitudes by tapping into the indie-cool power of the Secret Sisters' mesmerizing vocals: Arrow-straight ("Timeless," is how Cobb describes their harmonizing) the unique, un-filtered Rogers' sound deftly ambling between savant-like grace and 'good 'ol fashioned' pop horse sense - defying both convention and the fake-it-as-you-go M.O. of the contemporary, hyper-shuffled music industry.

It was the Secret Sisters' vocals and their love and respect for music and harmony that first caught the attention of T Bone Burnett, who signed on as Executive Producer after spending time with Laura and Lydia and hearing them sing live, and is releasing the album on his new label created especially for this release - Beladroit.

As Burnett explains, "I have been making music for over forty years and The Secret Sisters album is as close to pure as it gets."

The album was recorded the same way it would have been recorded in the 1950s. No computers or digital equipment were even allowed near the sessions in an effort to capture the sisters' stunning vocal prowess 'as is.' The production team and the girls utilized vintage microphones and 'throwback' recording techniques down to the same type of tape they would have used fifty years ago. "Some songs only took a few takes to capture," says Lydia. "Often we've found we're freshest on the first-take. The way we bounce off each other when singing also seems to give us a confidence to 'go for it,' even though this was our first time in a 'real' studio."
