Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Riding on top of their funky, blues-rock instrumental combination, the Holmes Brothers work vocal magic here, digging vigorously into their customary gospel roots. Rich, soulful harmonies and a moving blend of grit and sincerity give Wendell and Sherman Holmes and Popsy Dixon their distinction and power. Their voices suggest depths of religious conviction that get added punch from the band's kicking intensity. "Jesus Is the Way," "Jesus Got His Hooks in Me," "Thank You, Jesus," and "King Jesus Will Roll All Burdens Away" reveal the primary lyrical subject matter of the songs, and they are done with reverence and conviction. Bob Dylan's "Man of Peace," Ben Harper's "I Want to Be Ready," and Gamble-Huff's "Love Train" are also given the Holmes treatment: throaty, heartfelt harmonies layered amid rocking church organ, shimmering guitars, and rich backbeats. And Wendell Holmes's tasty guitar is always around to give the tunes a rockish feel. This is, though, a well-recorded, loving tribute to the gospel music heritage, and the Holmes Brothers prove themselves worthy carriers of that rich tradition. --Wally Shoup
