It was thanks to the 2012 movie/documentary “Searching for Sugar Man” that we were introduced to the incredible music of Sixto Rodriguez. If you know what movie we are talking about you will know just how mind-blowing the story behind the Detroit singer/songwriter is.
It is hard to talk about it without giving some of the unexpected twists away so we recommend you all to watch the documentary without doing any research or googling first. Trust us 🙂
We’ve been hooked on his work ever since and wanted to cover some of his music. “Sugarman” seemed like the perfect pick. Albeit dark, we love the song and the entire record and thoroughly enjoyed giving it a two-person-only makeover. We hope you enjoy it!
Grab Some Vinyl!
Just a reminder that our original album “WHY?” is now out on vinyl, as well as a new black reprint of “ORANGE”. Check them out!

It’s so sad, I just heard, Sixto died two days ago.
RiP Sixto
Love the song pace and the harmonies, it kind of hooks you.
It is nice to hear the Hoefner bass in action, and especially so when it is used for other things than Beatles covers.
How old is your Hoefner?
Amazing as always ! When a tour in France ? We look forward because we love you so much !
Very nice as always. When a tour in France ? We look forward ’cause we love you so much.
I must admit to having never heard of or being familiar at all with this song, music, person, movie- documentary, until now. I have to now Google and YouTube it to find out what all about….. Always something new to learn on here or rediscover, etc…
I enjoyed this session , the way, you sung, played – instrumentation, all intertwining in harmony , will definitely be sharing YouTube link.
It’s always an ” In Utter Awe ” moment with whatever you do, whether it be an original, cover, etc… it has an immediate resonating impact.
Kudos to continuing to embrace what your Creativity Hearts unleashes , and how it transforms, transcends, bestows upon .
Thankyou to Always doing your utmost #MLTBUZZLUVGROOVIFIED Best and delivering the Bonafide Eminating Music Juices that floweth from your minds through to your hands, feet, vocals , instrumentation, recording process, etc …
Utter Fabness …
** Correction Note ** … I had meant to say will share the YouTube link for ” Sugar Man ” once it ‘s official/ public and not before …. my ongoing eye issues still causing me grief and I don’t always word stuff correctly and if I caused any inadvertly confusion , my apologies, was not the intent .
I love the Duo Session format. There’s more – you – to it. Amazing like always. You are the best.
Interesting song choice and documentary. I’m from Detroit, so I noticed a couple things in that film that they didn’t talk about.
Oh, and in spite of what that film showed, it doesn’t snow every day here. Thanks.
Bardzo ładnie.. słodko…
Playing it every day, I do love
I Bought Myself A Politician
C’est tellement d’actualité
As always a wonderful rendition!
Great cover of a great song,thanks …
When are u coming to Lyon … Please 😊
That song does sound familiar to me…. Of course you both make it sound beautiful! Lisa, about halfway through the song, you looked at Mona and whispered something ….??? is that true or am I just imagining that….??
Great tune. Bass is awesome. You guys have great voices. woops. The Epi is great too.. 😉
Great sounds. As usual
AWESOME! Great harmonies!
Sweet…..great harmonies…slick guitar work. Gorgeous.
Brilliant as always!
Oh this was an amazing performance, the light meets the dark, and comes out sweet.
Absolutely amazing, as always! Thank you for sharing your wonderful music with us! Stay Groovy!!
Mona Lisa
Your singing is delightful with fantastic bass and rhythm guitar talent.
I enjoy all your music and your 1960`s girl group covers.
Good Luck
Lou, a big fan of your music
another winning release.
these ladies and their band are simply outstanding.
Excellent! Enjoy your talent.
Beautiful talented ladies! Buy me a politician is my favourite, should be a single, no.1
Used to listen to this song/album when living in south Africa, what a fantastic cover this is, congratulations
Beautiful harmonies. Nice chord progression.
How much I love the duo sessions where we get nothing but pure talent and energy from two very accomplished musicians,
Wow what a perfect blend of your voices on this song and every song you both do. No one in opinion can match the beauty of your voices!! Such a great song, love this one and the guitar from Mona and the bass from Lisa is un matched!! Thank you both so much for this lovely and beautiful song. Wow this one will stick in my head the rest of the day!! LOVE IT!!
God Bless and hugs from Bill and Maddie Isenberg huge fans from Pittsburgh PA USA
WOW Lisa your voice is disturbingly beautiful and sang with the pain and desperation behind the song.
Mona you harmonise beautifully with Lisa and your guitar strumming is superb.
Very nice tune and I like the rhythm.
Nice version of a great song. But we are used to that from MLT – I’m more impressed that you know about Rodriguez as he wasn’t a global star…
Great my dears!
I have been found along of this years.
Best regards
Quito Arantes
Absolutely loved it. Such talent. Keep it up girl! X
Fantastic, as always!
Smashing ! , love all your songs .
Well done girls anther great tune keep it up
Fine performance but it seems somewhat incongruous for such attractive and clean women to sing such a dark druggy song
Really liked the guitar work and the energy of the song, one of the best you have done
Suger Me, a sweet song full of goodies to deliver life’s pleasures. Ideal for dental check ups!
Wow!!! That’s the very best song I’ve heard you do (and I’m an old Beatles fan). I hope you do a lot more acoustical along those lines!
Fantastic cover. Sixth would be proud.
Beautifully done as always!
I saw Rodriguez in Perth a few years ago. Awseome concert but I honestly think you Ladies have aced it! This has always been a “groove to” song for me, it is just past breakfast time in Western Australia, so I’m going to have another “groove session” before having to face the day. Thankyou SOOO much!
Very cool! Keep up the good work!
Great JOB. I really loved the “woody” bass tones of that Hofner!!! A little more “sparkle” in the Epiphone would have given more musical character, I think.
But as always, great job, you two.
Your cover of this song is so gorgeous and beautiful from the soothing rhythm and bass guitars, to your expressive and stunning singing and harmonies. The music, the way you sing and smile, it’s just absolutely captivating and beautiful. I’ve never heard this song before, but you made it completely your own, love it. You can do any style/genre of music and make it so beautiful and brilliant, that is so rare and special.
Well said Jung! Mona and Lisa are just simply the best!!
Top quality 👌
Fantastic as usual
I love it
Incredible story…incredible performance by Mona and Lisa! Thank you for sharing!
you girls are amazing. improve everything you do.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, Love it. On the next album please!
Just an excellent cover with your own special feel and delivery.
Love sugar man – just fabulous 🥰
I Love these girls!!!!!!!!
You’ve put your own spin on the song while retaining its heart and soul. What else would one expect? Mona, what a cool rhythm. Quick, precise choppy rhythms used to be my thing but I was never up to your standard. Excellent harmonies as always. Lisa, to sing like that and play such a great bassline… I’m in awe of you both.
An excellent rendition. You do the song proud. Well done MLT
Classic. Love it.
Why do I get a down vote? Strange!
Gorgeous sound as always!
Just brilliant. – as always.x
Love this – I am now going to check out the original!
Great song, great performance and great ladies as always!
congrats with love from Belgium.
Always love to receive your mails, every time a joyful moment, thanks!
Another faultless performance. You deserve much more success xx
Love this so much. I saw the documentary when it first came out. Illuminating and tragic all at once.
I love this! You always do such a great rendition.
Awesome just like everything you do
I’m double in love
Lisa’s voice just keeps maturing, and you both just keep getting more and more beautiful, if that’s even possible!
Your harmonies make the angels jealous!
You ladies never cease to ‘wow’ me…your talents and versatility always shine in your music!
Love it!
Wow…love this rendition…voices and guitars are amazing!
Great song & great performance from the 2 most talented duo……………Great ! Thanks x
Brilliant cover of a brilliant and intriguing performer.I too won’t spoil the story for those yet to watch Sugar Man. Needless to say, I think he would love your version.
Never heard this one before, but I loved Mona’s lustrous guitar and the always pure harmonies. Great bass work by Lisa. Always lovely to see my favorites playing duo sessions…
Pretty song beautiful harmony lovely musicians
Great cover of this song. I like that Epitome acoustic with a really nice hit on the fret. Lisa does The Fender bass exceptionally quickly and well. Wonderful together!!
Splendid, splendid, splendid, that was really nice! You two sound so good together, you just made my Sunday!
Sounds great! Nice job ladies!!
One of the best songs you have sung beautiful
Music is one of the best gifts God gave to humankind. And being given the gift of discovering and understanding the language and nuances of music is one of the best gifts He gives to individual humans. You two got a triple portion of that gift. Thank you for sharing it with the world, Heaven knows we need it. I pray you both have good health, good positive things in your life, and that you can continue for decades to keep doing your music, which you obviously love. Dennis Gurley and The EggMen love you and your music!
ARE YOU AN EGGMAN?
I am indeed! I bees da bass player!
Great chops.
Girls you are amazing! Please set some performance in italy.. I need to hear you live.. please, please us 😉
I am a Songwriter and I think you are absolutely Superb .
I have a couple of Recordings that I think you will sound fantastic on . I would love to send you Recordings for you to listen to. But if not All The Best to you both I’m am convinced you have A Great Future ahead 🙏
I saw the documentary, I like the video you did. I’m going to have to look it up and watch it again. Well done!
Mona & Lisa do the song Sugar Man good justice as they do all the songs they sing.
I have seen the film documentary on Sugar Man, it is a film with heart and soul, just how he could walk away from his success albeit a quiet success no one will ever know.
Sugar Man’s songs are full of heart wrenching truthfulness and feelings.
You must check out Sugar Man.
