Search - Holmes Brothers :: Simple Truths

The Holmes Brothers return with SIMPLE TRUTHS, helmed by the same Grammy-winning pair?producer Craig Street (Cassandra Wilson, Chris Whitley) and engineer S. Husky Höskulds (Tom Waits, Joe Henry, Wallflowers)?who were part of the creative team for the 2003 Norah Jones smash Come Away With Me. SIMPLE TRUTHS features 13 striking songs reflecting The Holmes Brothers? wide-ranging musical palette. The CD brings the group back into the secular world while still holding tight to their rich gospel harmonies and rough-edged vocals. The album features an amazing collection of songs written by some of the greatest songwriters of the last 60 years, including Townes Van Zandt (If I Needed You), Bob Marley (Concrete Jungle), Gillian Welch (Everything Is Free), Willie Nelson (Opportunity To Cry) and Hank Williams (I?m So Lonesome I Could Cry) as well as choice covers of Collective Soul?s Shine and Bruce Channel?s Hey Baby. The Holmes Brothers? spirited original material (Run ! Myself Out Of Town; We Meet, We Part, We Remember; You Won?t Be Livin? Here Anymore; and I?m So Lonely) fits perfectly alongside the rest of the songs on this transcendent, boundary-defying release.
