  • Description

    With their 2001 release, Speaking In Tongues, The Holmes Brothers took a huge step up in press coverage, radio airplay and, most importantly, sales. Simple Truths is their new studio release produced by Grammy Award-winner Craig Street (Norah Jones, Chris Whitley, Kd Lang). The album is an adventurous, soulful journey through American roots music - blues, R&B and country. From raucous roadhouse rockers to heartbreaking ballads, the tracks include four great new Holmes Brothers compositions as well as stirring, entirely original interpretations of songs associated with Jimmy Reed, Jim Reeves, Collective Soul, Gillian Welch, Hank Williams, Bruce Channel, Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson and Bob Marley.

    Despite the wide stylistic range of the material the release has an intimate, true-to-life sound thanks to producer Street and engineer (and fellow Grammy Award-winner) S. Husky Hoskulds (Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, Tom Waits, Solomon Burke).
