Exclusive Premiere: The Gibson Brothers — “They Called It Music”
Bluegrass music has a long, rich history of brother duos. Eric and Leigh Gibson may be one of the newer links in that chain, but their harmonies are some of the best you’ll find in bluegrass–or any genre.
Out March 26 on Compass Records, The Gibson Brothers’ They Called It Music will be a serious contender for Album of the Year thanks to those captivating harmonies and the five-man band’s stellar arrangements. Covers of songs by artists like Mark Knopfler, the Delmore Brothers, and Shawn Camp and Loretta Lynn stand alongside original material that includes some of the brothers’ best writing to date. Check out the title track, written by Eric Gibson and Joe Newberry, “They Called It Music,” below, along with a new video of the band performing the song at Compass Sound Studios in Nashville.

Now this is what I call music! Great lyrics, harmony, and everything else it takes to be a #1 hit. I can’t wait to see it zoon up the charts.

Now that’s how you do it! Great harmony too. Just a mic and no effects shows how it’s done.

Plane simple music, great musianship, no computer to cover vocal mistakes, great message. These guys are known for their harmony. They certainly have that in spades. What I like about them more than most Bluegrass bands is their seemingly musical simplicity. When an instrument comes in it absolutely belongs, it brings it’s voice to the song. The Gibdon brothers, including the entire band, should be proud of this song, this record and what they bring to Bluegrass music in general.

Why didn’t you stream the complete album, like some others you have? Hard to get a good idea from one song. :)
Thanks anyway,
Jake
