  • Description

    Since signing with Alligator, The Holmes Brothers have enjoyed a quantum leap in radio and television exposure in the USA, with showers of critical acclaim and mushrooming sales. This new studio release is poised to bring their down-home mix of blues, soul, country and gospel to an even bigger audience.

    Produced by 'Simple Truths' helmsman Craig Street, State Of Grace is the best record yet of The Holmes Brothers' astonishingly fresh blend of American roots sounds. Fans of their revelatory interpretations of classic songs will enjoy their version of Nick Lowe's "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding?", also a hushed and heavenly "I Want You To Want Me" and their heated Cajun workout on "Bad Moon Rising". The record also features songs by Lyle Lovett, Hank Williams and George Jones along with several soulful Holmes Brothers originals.

    Accompanying the band are an all-star cast of singers and instrumentalists, including Rosanne Cash, Joan Osborne, Levon Helm, Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan), John Leventhal and Catherine Russell.
