E.P. "BANG!" 2006
"...infectious tracks that feel instantly familiar...Those who enjoyed the vintage stylings of Gillian Welch, Eilen Jewell et al, will find the Sweetback Sisters a natural, if more upbeat and irreverent, match to these artists. An excellent album, and great fun!"
--Fish Records, June 2009
"...they all appear to be musical geniuses. Their brand new debut album, Chicken Ain't Chicken, is brilliantly fun and straddles eras as well as any piece of modern Americana can. The Sweetback Sisters mines songs from long ago eras of country music but escapes ending up as a dusty, nostalgic throwback by applying real energy and modern creativity to the vintage material. The perfect blend of temporal perspectives make the record a complete delight. Highly recommended. "

"'Chicken Aint Chicken', the debut from the Sweetback Sisters, could play back to back at the Grand Old Opry and your dingy, hometown DIY club without missing a beat...Its a countryfried helping of fun that screams for an old-time revival."
-- Brian Krasman, Daily News, Pittsburgh, June 30, 2009
"The hardest part of listening to The Sweetback Sisters album, Chicken Aint Chicken, was getting past the first track, I Want To Be A Real Cowboy Girl. The song immediately moved beyond a guilty pleasure and into a full fledged addiction in under the three minute post."
--Danny McClosky, The Alternate Root, July 09
"Without an appreciation for traditional country instrumentation and without a feel for humor's place in music, it would be hard to wrap your ears around The Sweetback Sisters and their new release, Chicken Ain't Chicken on Signature Sounds. Fortunately I have no trouble with either and I will offer that this is one of the best discs I've heard this year."
