Sunday Night Covers #18: The Holmes Brothers Trifecta


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.")

    "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.
