Synopsis

Album Description
This young group of stellar Brooklyn-based musicians performs an incredible array of traditional old-time & honky tonk rock music reminiscent of the 1940's & 50's. Complete with hot licks and sweet girl-on-girl harmonies, they're sure to warm the heart of all you modern day cowboys and girls. The Sweetback Sisters line-up features the lavish voices of Zara Bode and Emily Miller with an all-star cast of instrumentalists including: West Virginian triple threat Jesse Milnes; Stefan "da guns" Amidon on drums; Philly's stringed slayer Ross Bellenoit on rippin' Telecaster, and Bridget Kearny on bass. With sold out concerts across the North East, a special guest appearance on A Prairie Home Companion and now the excellent debut album Chicken Ain't Chicken, these kids are off to an exciting start!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Chicken Ain't Chicken is campy western swing at it's best. The songs are mostly old country and folk, but the band makes them their own. It's not covers of old stuff. It's truely something new.



I would liken their sound to Dixie Chicks with better guitar and fiddle, or Asleep At The Wheel with 3 Elizabeth McQueens.



I love the campy western swing genre of cowbow music, and this is the best I've heard in the last five years.



Buy it. You won't be dissappointed."
