Lebanon (Top40 Charts/ Cracker Barrel Old Country Store) Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and The Secret Sisters announce the release of Put Your Needle Down:
Deluxe Edition, which will be available on August 4 exclusively at all 630 Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® locations and online at crackerbarrel.com. The digital album will also be available for purchase at select digital retailers. Put Your Needle Down:
Deluxe Edition contains two brand-new and exclusive bonus tracks not found on the regular edition that was released in April. Produced by T Bone Burnett, the album contains 14 songs and will sell for $11.99.
Rolling Stone praised The Secret Sisters for their "ethereal harmonies" on the album while NPR commented that "Real life sisters
Laura and Lydia Rogers are as flawlessly retro as 'Mad Men' and as lively and bold as Bettie Page, and their voices ring in impeccable harmonies that soar straight into the Everly Brothers' territory." The New York Times commended them for "…writing songs that hark back to vintage country storytelling" and went on to say "it's no wonder the producer T Bone Burnett teamed up with them; they're devoted to the rootsy anachronism, the throwback with modern savvy." The Fort Worth Star-Telegram said, "Like orchids blooming in the swamp, The Secret Sisters embody beauty amid harshness….[they] make music with echoes of the past — everyone from the
Everly Brothers and Kitty Wells to
Simon & Garfunkel and
Emmylou Harris lingers in the background like shadows — that enriches the present day." And, the UK's Independent wrote "These songs bounce, buzz and bubble along with timeless life. And jeez louise, those harmonies!"
"Cracker Barrel has always offered classic Southern food and fun items updated for modern tastes to our guests, just as The Secret Sisters embrace classic musical traditions and add their own unique modern spin," said Cracker Barrel Marketing Manager
Julie Craig. "We are excited to release an exclusive
Deluxe Edition of The Secret Sisters' album. We know our guests will enjoy their great songs and those beautiful sibling harmonies."
"We grew up eating home-grown, Southern comfort food made mostly by our grandmothers," said both
Laura and Lydia. "Cracker Barrel has always been a top choice for us, because eating there reminds us of home and the meals we shared so often with our family. We both have a soft spot for meals at Cracker Barrel, which is what makes us excited about this exclusive music program and being able to release Put Your Needle Down in a
Deluxe Edition format. We always want to give more to our fans, so being able to offer two additional songs on the
Deluxe Edition CD is something that makes us very happy."
