​The Secret Sisters (from the album Saturn Return available on New West Records)  (by Bryant Liggett)
Their harmonies are ghostly and lonely, soft and warm, their melodies and music gentle and inviting. They are also willing to toss in a guitar solo that will crash from behind the voices of The Secret Sisters, Laura Rogers and Lydia Slagle. Their fourth release from The Secret Sisters, Saturn Return is a welcoming mix of Folk and breezy Southern California’s Cosmic Country Rock, while dabbling in Soul and Indie Rock, all accentuated with stellar sibling harmonies. “Silver” opens Saturn Return with two soulful voices singing to ‘look upon your mother, and the silver in her hair’ as the tempo amps up, The Secret Sisters singing a song of encouragement, comparing that silver hair to a crown of royalty. The message is aging is in fact and it is okay.
“Late Bloomer” is a cut with heavy piano, “Hand Over My Heart” a love song for both a past and current relationship where The Secret Sisters swear that ‘if I’m breathing you won’t ever be alone’. Along with “Nowhere Baby”, The Secret Sisters have created a delicious vintage vibe that time travels to 1970’s AM Gold on the radio. “Cabin” is a song of abuse and the buried stories that fall on deaf ears; the helpless lyrics reading ‘he didn’t have permission but he had his way. If I tell his secret, they won’t believe me anyway’ are angry, harsh despite a tender vocal delivery, with a grunge-guitar solo matching the anger in the words ‘burn this cabin down’. A handful of hymnals give Saturn Return some Gospel sway when “Tin Can Angel” digs deep into soulful Roots, “Hold You Dear” a beautifully sad ballad, and album closer in “Healer In The Sky”, a hopeful ray of optimism. (by Bryant Liggett)
