WOW, John, “Simply put, the best bluegrass CD of all time, and my favorite project ever.” That’s a mighty big heap of praise! I think I would have to live with an album for a good long while before I was ready to make a statement such as that.

I admit that I had tempered my expectations for this recording a bit after such an outstanding debut project…SHAME ON ME. Jamie and Darrin (and Jeff and Joe, too) have taken the vocal quality to a new level with this project, particularly the brother harmonies. The variety of musical styles and lyrical content is extraordinary, and start to finish, Brothers from Different Mothers is even better than their first CD. What is most remarkable, though, is that someway, somehow, Jamie and Darrin have managed to capture the energy of their live performances on this project. I got as excited listening to this the first time through (and every time since) as I do when I’m sitting in the audience at one of their shows–partly due to amazing song selection and their perfect harmonies, not to mention the band…Simply put, the best bluegrass CD of all time, and my favorite project ever.

I’m not with you on this one, Juli. I love me some Dailey and Vincent, and this is a strong album, but I thought that the duo spent too much time exploring different stylings at the expense of cohesiveness. Overall, I found the material to be a cut below their debut album and thought that the gospel stuff was a little heavy-handed this time around. 3.5-4 stars from me.

It’s worth adding that Dailey & Vincent are actually a 5-piece band whose other members, especially third vocalist Jeff Parker, make considerable contributions. I don’t recall off-hand whether it’s Jeff or a guest singing on the closing number on the album, but that “angel band of two” is definitely an angel band of three.

Initially, I wasn’t completely sold on the direction of this album, but I think I’ve warmed up to it a bit since then. I’d say it’s a 4 to 4.5. I agree with your take on “On the Other Side,” though; it immediately stands out as pretty exceptional.

I will definitely check this out. I really enjoyed their first album.

Juli, as a reviewer of bluegrass albums on the 9513 you have a Thanki-less task! (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) Like the fantastic “Forgotten Artists” series by Paul Dennis, you two are dealing in subjects that most 9513 participants don’t relate to in a big way. I’m personally really glad the 9513 covers such a wide variety of country music artists from all time periods even if these topic threads don’t generate much of a response.

As for Dailey and Vincent, they always blow me away when I can hear them live on The Opry or E.T. Record Shop Midnite Jamboree. They sound just as good live as they do on their recordings, and that’s saying a lot.

On May 30th Dailey and Vincent will be the featured artists on the Midnite Jamboree, and I’ll be glued to my computer that night! (And best of all the show starts at 10 PM Pacific time. WooHoo!)
