This terrific trio has made the standout album of their career. Wendell and Sherman Holmes,
along with Popsy Dixon, remember when soul and gospel music had the same sound, but they never feel
like an oldies act. They blend soaring voices in raspy harmonies that seem more spontaneous than rehearsed. The Brothers tackle an eclectic range of material, from Jimmy Reed’s rollicking
blues “Big Boss Man,” to Jim Reeves’ sentimental country ballad “He’ll Have to Go,” to a breathtaking,
churchy version of Townes Van Zandt’s tender “If I Needed You.” Add a handful of originals from gifted
lead guitarist Wendell, including the scruffy “You Won’t Be Livin’ Here Anymore,” and down-home
perfection isn’t far away.

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
