The Malpass Brothers Lonely Street (CD)

(Billy Jam Records) 12 tracks - digipack.

This is music straight out of the Golden Era of Country, with no deviations to be found. The way the song Out of Sight and Out of Mind begins with a tag of the chorus shows how much the Malpass Brothers know about classic country fashions. But it's one thing to choose the right instrumentation and the right tones to revive an era. It's another thing to choose the right instrumentation and sounds to resurrect an era, and another thing how incredibly gifted the Malpass Brothers are at singing the material.

It used to be a requirement to be a gifted singer to play country music. These days, that's more of a secondary consideration. The Malpass Brothers may be one of many acts doing older music in a modern context. But it's the smoothness and richness of their vocals that make them unsurpassed. ~ SavingCountryMusic
