Songs That Keep Us Sane (2023), the Vogts Sisters’ first full cover album, is comprised of 16 varied works from such beloved artists as Emmylou Harris and Tom Petty. The sisters explore music that has filled their lives and helped keep them grounded, sharing their interpretations with honesty and humbleness.
"Although the Vogts Sisters have an arsenal of original songs, the duo recently released an album of exquisite covers. Their 2023 release Songs That Keep Us Sane is full of their own folksy take on some well-known songs like "Jolene" and "Long Black Veil," with a few genre surprises like "Free Fallin," "With or Without You," "Silver Springs," and "These Dreams." Each song on the album is a stunning version, showcasing the Vogts sisters' artistry and affinity for musical production. We are struck by their pitch perfect harmonies and fluid arrangements of softly strummed guitar and mandolin, a fiddle dancing across the melody. Their sound is delicate and lovely, every bit of it steeped in emotional depth. A lot of their vocal delivery is breathy or falsetto, but sometimes they really belt on certain lines. Their arrangements are otherworldly, almost haunting at times. We're in the foggy hills of Appalachia, and it feels so good. Not too shabby for a couple of sisters from Kansas." - Deitra Magazine, January 2024
