Overview
“To say they’ve got the classic brother duet thing down is an understatement; they own it.” —No Depression
“They have it all: lead vocals, brother-duet harmony, instrumental virtuosity, ensemble sensibilities, and great original material." —Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine
“The Gibson Brothers lead a bluegrass quintet that can pull off traditional Bill Monroe-style picking and sweet, Louvin Brothers-like harmony singing.” —The Washington Post
The Gibson Brothers are the best of the best in bluegrass! Their spellbinding harmony singing and instrumental virtuosity won them the highest accolade in bluegrass, the coveted 2012 International Bluegrass Music Association’s award for Entertainer of the Year AND Gospel Recorded Event of the Year for their collaboration with Ricky Skaggs.
When it comes to sustainability and stability, a career in music isn’t the first that comes to mind. But Eric and Leigh Gibson, despite being geographically removed from the genre’s Appalachian roots in upstate New York, have made a name for themselves in bluegrass over the past two decades, playing over 80 shows and festivals a year and gradually building a deeply dedicated, nationwide fan base with their spellbinding harmony singing, which can reach the high lonesome notes of Bill and Charlie Monroe and capture the tenderness of pop/country crooners the Everly Brothers. They Called It Music, the Gibson Brothers’ third release for roots label Compass Records and the follow-up to 2011’s IBMA Album of the Year, Help My Brother, is their best yet, incorporating their varied influences – which range from Roy Acuff to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – and delivering gorgeous acoustic music with the finesse that only comes from decades of experience. They’ve always had an uncanny ability to blend the classic and the modern, a tradition that continues on this album. Much of They Called It Music was recorded live at Compass Sound Studios in Nashville, capturing the exhilarating energy and impeccable musicianship that captivate the crowds who flock to their performances.
