The Earl Brothers

"THE EARL BROTHERS HAVE GOT THE SOUL AND THE SONGS AND THE ATTITUDE THAT BROUGHT US ALL INTO BLUEGRASS MUSIC IN THE FIRST PLACE.THEIR SONGS CRY OF THE MOUNTAINS, OF THE PEOPLE AND OF THE TRADITIONS DOWN THROUGH THE AGES. BLUEGRASS IS ALIVE AND WELL." Chris Hillman Pioneer of the genre known as “Country Rock”. Worked with such notable bands as The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers and the Desert Rose Band. “It's always a big event in my neck of the woods when a new Earl Brothers CD appears. I usually take the day off from work and stay at home--grilling red meat, drinking beer and blasting a few rounds through my .45. I think you guys are on to something that's so primeval, insistent, dark, old-time and thrilling that it just about defies description. I find myself completely mesmerized by their gothic Stanley Brothers sound. It just doesn't get anymore tough-edged and raw than tunes like "Going Walking," "Hell on the Highway," the title track and "Life Full of Trouble," which, if my ears aren't deceiving me sounds like it stays on just one chord throughout the piece. And what a chord it is!” Dave Higgs Nashville Public Radio Bluegrass Breakdown I really enjoy their [The Earl Brothers] music.......it harkens back to Bluegrass when it was really music of the people..... Tom Henderson "This Is Bluegrass" Now In It's 38th Year Of Syndication 88.5 WMNF-FM - Tampa, FL "The only thing to say about traditional bluegrass at it's best is.... The Earl Brothers. Their modern writing style is combined with their traditional vocals and music. They have captured, in my opinion, the best sound bluegrass can offer. As soon as we started playing their music on WDVX, they went straight to #1 on our playlist. With bands like the Earl Brothers in the Bluegrass Circuit, the music that Bill Monroe created years ago will stay in good hands! In my opinion, the Earl Brothers will continue to create traditional bluegrass all over again." Alex Leach, WDVX Radio, Knoxville TN. " A great new sounding band with high-lonesome qualities that have not been heard since the recordings of the rural mountain bands of the 40's. My audience lit up all four phone lines in the studio upon hearing their music. Keep up the good work.
