I’ve watched the Sentimental Family Band grow and change lineups over the last couple years.. currently listed as a large family with seven members, led by Camille Lewis, Kyle Albrecht, and Matthew Shepherd holding down the songwriting duties. The remarkable aspect of such a large standing ensemble is that the music on the new LP, Sweethearts Only, mirrors beautifully from record to dancehall. Something that’s not often or easily done.
Not skipping a beat – carrying their polished sounds from south Austin’s, Fort Horton Studios – recorded by Billy Horton to Austin’s honky tonks, and filling the dance floors. The long awaited Sweethearts Only was reordered over a long stretch of time. SFB scraped together the money and found time where they could, to hit the studio.. putting out three singles for the world to audibly chew on along the way.
If you’ve heard any of their singles, then you know what Sweethearts Only has in store for you – 50’s inspired classic country music that’s filled with tightly layered musicianship, duets, harmonies, and plenty to step to. With their hippified approach, there are ear-candied flavors that range from Loretta to The Byrds.
