It has been 10 years since The Sweetback Sisters first began forging their distinct sonic universe of golden era country, and on their new album, “King Of Killing Time,” they push their sound into more adventurous and playful territory than ever before.
Centered around the charismatic, airtight harmonies of Emily Miller and Zara Bode, the album’s 10 tracks are a mix of originals and unexpected interpretations of everything from George Jones to Gram Parsons.
The Sweetback Sisters Album Release Party, featuring The Mammals, will be Friday at 7 p.m. at Shea Theater, 71 Avenue A in Turners Falls.
Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.
The Mammals is a five-piece Americana band from Woodstock, N.Y. It is a string band that uses drums and electric guitar. Members include Mike Merenda and Ruth Ungar, who are accompanied by section bass, drums and pedal steel.
