The Gibson Brothers - Iron And Diamonds (2008)

Posted By : yLe | Date : 31 Aug 2008 00:05 | Comments : 5

We all know people who, as Robbie Fulks sings, like “every kind of music but country”. My suggestion when encountering this kind of person is to sit him or her down and play Iron & Diamonds. If, by the end of the album, said person is not totally in love with the Gibson Brothers, chances are this horrid taste extends to other elements of his life as well, so you really shouldn’t be associating with that kind of riff-raff anyway, because this record is incredible.

When one thinks of classic R&B singers with a country flair, chances are it's Ray Charles first, followed perhaps by Joe Tex and Solomon Burke. Jason Allen makes the case for adding Stevie Wonder into the mix with a terrific cover of "I Just Called to Say I Love You." Slowed to a honky-tonk shuffle, it's a novel take on a pop standard. But that doesn't mean The Twighlight Zone is a novelty album by any means.

Every Night, the title of the fifth album for Brandon Rhyder, is a reminder to he and his band of their job - to “bring it” every night. Making its debut August 19th and produced by the acclaimed Radney Foster, this album is pure country infused with what listeners have come to expect from Brandon Rhyder. This collection of songs conveys a fresh sound and perhaps a new direction for the songwriter.

When it comes to The Stone Poneys, Ronstadt’s first major foray into the music world, there is no denying that all of the elements were in place for a great folk band. Ronstadt sounds great next to the skill of Robert Kimmel and Ken Edwards.
