Sister, brother and family singing groups have long been part of the country/bluegrass scene with the Delmore, Monroe, and Stanley duos and the Carter Family being the most popular. Similar language backgrounds as well as similar genetic voice qualities have made traditional sibling harmonies a powerful blend. Sarah Hawker and Debra Clifford are the Lonesome Sisters and their voices blend seamlessly in the old style.

Sarah and Debra have been performing together since 2003, but their own musical heritage goes back many years. Sarah learned traditional Appalachian singing from her aunt Ginny Hawker and grandfather Ben Hawker. Sarah’s song “Forgiveness” won the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at the 2004 Merlefest. Another of her songs, “Going Home Shoes” was included in the Sing Out! magazine compilation CD this last fall. Debra has been playing music for over 30 years and is also a member of the Joe Thrift band and she performs with Ginny Hawker and Tracy Schwarz.

The first album features Sarah and Debra two voices in a tight parallel harmony with a spare instrumental background of guitar, and clawhammer banjo from Rose Sinclair. The songs are classic tunes from the Stanley Brothers, some traditional songs and one song from Debra and one from Sarah. Sarah’s “Over The Sea” has a mournful quality emphasized with Chad Crumm’s lonesome fiddle. Their version of Carter Stanley’s “Could You Love Me One More Time” has a plaintive quality matched with the strong strumming of Debra’s guitar. All of life’s sorrows are gathered in their version of “I Have No Mother Now.” The more recent Hugh Moffatt song, “Old Flames” is rendered with a tenderness and joy with voices intertwined with guitar and mandolin.

The second album with Riley Baugus was released this year and while the wonderful harmonies are still first and foremost, the song selection and instrumentation shows the evolving sound of the group. Riley Baugus’ guitar immediately makes its presence known as he weaves a tapestry of notes around Debra’s gospel song, “God’s Golden Key.” The melody soars and the voices follow in tight formation. Debra also sings a mournful version of “Rain and Snow” with some perfect upper register voicings on the drawn-out notes of snooooooow. Sarah has written 6 of the songs and her themes follow the stories of loves lost either voluntarily or involuntarily. “Token Reminder” has a Hazel Dickens flair with the tale of a cheap silver keychain as the only reminder of a man done gone. “They All Pale” is the familiar story of starting over in the quest for love only to find the old love in every new encounter. Riley Baugus adds some strong vocal harmony on Sarah’s version of the traditional gospel song, “Sing to Me of Heav’n,” and some high-spirited fiddle with Debra on the “Highlanders Farewell.” The matching of Riley with Sarah and Debra is a wonderful combination, and hopefully Riley will continue to join this exciting duo in the future.
