Laura (L) and Lydia Rogers: The Secret Sisters
Laura and Lydia Rogers are really sisters from Muscle Shoals, Alabama. They are country singers who have been performing together since they were kids in church and with their very musical family. In 2010 they released their first album which contained this song, written by Laura, called “Tennessee Me.”
They are very traditional young ladies who made their first album on analogue equipment using one old fashioned microphone. This past week they performed in concert on Public Television together with T-Bone Burnett , Jacob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and an ensemble of excellent musicians including the superb steel guitar player Robbie Turner. They are currently working on their second album. This music isn’t what you usually hear at the Country Music Awards where there is a lot of fusion going on. The Secret Sisters’ choice of songs takes you back to another era. –Paul Goldfinger
Are the Secret Sisters related in any way to Jimmy Rogers “The Singing Brakeman”?

The Sisters are from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, a place where many huge hits were produced starting in the 1960’s to today. The story of that musical town is fascinating, and there is a documentary all about that history,
