![]() The Quebe Sisters from the album The Quebe Sisters available as a self-release (by Bryant Liggett) The Quebe Sisters are nailing the old-school, new-school thing. The Quebe Sisters sound is retro while also being as fresh as next week. Andrews Sisters-style harmonies that date back three-quarters of a century for influences combined with a three-fiddle chorus. The Quebe Sisters got a foothold in the current roots music scene that screams swing and twang. Their self-titled, fourth release rocks as it waltz’s, crying the blues while digging deep into Jazz; The Quebe Sisters is a swinging look into the genres that make up whatever defines Americana. The trio could turn a Black Flag cut into a swinging dose of harmonies if the mood felt right. “My Love, My Life, My Friend” is a sentimental number while the instrumental “Load at 7 (Leave at 8)” bounces and swings. Fans of The Andy Griffith Show may get the “Lonesome Road” reference to an episode with Mayberry moonshiner Rafe Hollister. It is a cut with a huge history, The Sisters version beginning with haunting tones before morphing into an upbeat bouncer driven by the fiddles. The Quebe Sisters close the album with the Gene Autry cowpoke classic “Twilight on the Trail.” The line ‘my ceiling is the sky, and the grass on which I lie is my floor’ coming from The Quebe Sisters is welcoming and warm, lonesome and adventurous. Calling their sound “Progressive Western Swing,” The Quebe Sisters are reminding us that Western Swing shouldn’t take a back-seat to the honky-tonk resurgence. The style has never gone far enough away to be retro. It has been here all along and sounds as hip as ever.
