Please listen to three of my all-time favorite covers, which just so happen to be Holmes Brothers recordings.
These interpretations ooze soul and heartbreak, and the 3 records they come from are pretty damn good, too!
LOVE TRAIN
(from the Joan Osborne produced "Speaking In Tongues.")
I WANT YOU TO WANT ME
(from "State Of Grace")
I'LL BE BACK
(from "Feed My Soul.")

gosh. that was gorgeous.
"I Want You To Want Me" is absolute genius. Shuts me up everytime.
I had the pleasure of seeing these guys at the WXPN festival on a steamy Sunday afternoon this past July. I was awe-struck then and I'm awe-struck now.
All 3 are really terrific interpretations. Where are these guys from? New Orleans I'm suspecting. And where can I get some mo!
FD, they are a New York band. Use to play the Lower East Side all the time, Nightingale, Dan Lynch. I think the brothers were born in Virginia, though.
Great stuff.
