'Just leave your heart in Tennessee'

The Secret Sisters pay homage to our state in "Tennessee Me." Matt Popkin over at American Songwriter describes it as "a piano-driven song begging for a slow dance on a summer night," a description that perfectly nails the vibe of this mellow and lovely tune.

According to the TimesDaily, "Laura Rogers, 24, wrote the song after a bout of heartbreak while living in Tennessee."

The sisters are the real deal, sounding as good live as they do on their self-titled album, which was produced by T Bone Burnett and recorded as the pair sang into a single microphone:

Not everyone gets the chance to start over, but I have. Yeah, my new life is based in a Southern city, and yeah, my Yankee friends and family think I may have lost my mind because I love it here in the middle of this Bible-thumping, gun-toting red state. Who am I to care what other people think though? My name is Heather, and I'm off the map, heading into uncharted territory. This is my story of how I'm regaining my shine in the best-kept secret of the South. So, thanks for dropping by and visiting a spell. I love that you want to chime in on the conversation, and I'll get your comments up just as soon as I can. I reserve the right to reject comments that might hurt others, but I'm sure we'll keep this conversation civil, right?
