NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The sister country duo Sweethearts of the Rodeo has released their first new album in 16 years.
Sisters Kristine Arnold and Janis Oliver began singing bluegrass music as the Oliver Sisters in California. The duo was later renamed after The Byrds' album, Sweetheart of the Rodeo and eventually found their way to Nashville.
"Sweethearts" held a CD release party Thursday night at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville for their album, "Restless."
They said they were excited about seeing their fans on the road this coming year.
"The incredible thing about reconnecting with the fans is they've been there the whole time, waiting for us to come out with something," said Oliver.
The CD is being sold online. Anyone who orders directly from their website will get an autographed copy.
