The Sweetback Sisters are neither relatives nor sisters; in fact they are a mostly male band with two female leads – Zara Bode and Emily Miller. Regardless, the Brooklynites’ second album Looking for a Fight is a fun take on classic country and some of its retro variations. From the Nashville sound to honky tonk to rockabilly, from covers (Patsy Cline, Dwight Yoakam, The Traveling Wilburys) to originals, The Sweetback Sisters offer thirteen energetic tracks filled with sharp wit and pleasant harmonies, all captured on analogue tape. Looking for a Fight is great summer fun – be sure to check it out. – Written by JFelton
