Product Description
CD Description
This multi-talented trio doesn't insult the blues by tryingto mummify it. The Holmes Brothers' musical vision is a broad-ranging one that includes touches of country, funk, soul and gospel; their unique version of the blues incorporates all those styles. Wendell Holmes' gritty voice lends itself well to soulful, R&B-based ballads like "The New And ImprovedMe". Drummer Popsy Dixon's Philly International falsetto isfeatured on a surprising cover of Tom Waits' "Train Song" that makes perfect sense when you hear Dixon lay into the hard-luck lyrics.
Sherman Holmes' bass style, with its rhythmic and harmonic sophistication, is unprecedented in the blues world; he sounds like a cross between Phil Lesh and Willie Dixon. He wrote "There's A Train" and the title cut--funky, minor-key tunes whose religious themes contrast perfectly with the dark, sensual mood of the music. The band works together so well that you can sense the unspoken communication that allows the three members to work as one musical body. PROMISED LAND, with its paeans to romantic and spiritual love, is an album equally concerned with both sin and salvation.
