Jim
& Dix's newest collection Brothers at Heart includes
fifteen of their favorite songs and tunes, most of them traditional
and in the "brother duet" style. Anyone who loves simple
and straight-forward singing and picking will surely want to get
a copy of this CD.
The brother duet sound is like no other: basic acoustic guitar and/or
mandolin accompaniment plus two voices. Simple, from the heart,
without much extra decoration, but it gets you right to the roots
of the music and to the message of the song. Jim & Dix have
listened to and learned from the great country brother duet acts
from the 1920s to the present (the Monroe Brothers, Jim and Jesse,
the Louvin Brothers, the Dixon Brothers, the Lilly Brothers, the
Everly Brothers, the Wilburn Brothers, the Osborne Brothers, the
Stanley Brothers, the Delmore Brothers, the White Brothers, and
so many more). Though Jim & Dix aren't brothers by blood, they
are brothers at heart when it comes to the music.
