1	State of Grace (2007) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist The Holmes Brothers do what they do supremely well, taking all sorts of music and making it into gospel -- a sort of musical equivalent of alchemy. There's more of it here, plenty of their own material, but with some absolutely glorious covers. They utterly re-imagine Cheap Trick's perky "I Want You to Want Me" as a piece of '50s gospel, make ... see all copies from £11.64! new only from £11.64!
2	Speaking in Tongues (2001) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist The sixth album by New York's Holmes Brothers is another all-spirituals set -- though not in the traditional sense of the word. Produced by pop singer Joan Osborne (before she was a superstar, Osborne woodshedded with the Brothers and developed a fine rootsy singing style of her own), who was there in the Manhattan trenches with the band, this set ... see all copies from £3.55! new only from £12.12!
3	The Alligator Records 30th Anniversary Collection (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £10.98! new only from £10.98!
4	Night Train, Vol. 3: Classic Railroad Songs (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Trains were a major industrial force for over a hundred years in America. Starting around 1830, they became key components in how the country moved goods, people, and information across previously unimaginable distances. They also provided themes and metaphors for popular songs and music, many of which also drew underlying structure and dynamics ... see all copies from £8.10! new only from £11.20!
5	Promised Land (1997) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist The Holmes Brothers have honed their blend of rock, blues, gospel and soul to perfection on this, their fifth release. Whether it's Popsy Dixon's stunning interpretation of Tom Waits' "Train Song," the soul stirring harmonies on the gospel standard "I Surrender All," or an original, gritty guitar workout like "Start Stoppin'," there is simply not ... see all copies from £4.22! new only from £4.22!
6	Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling Stones (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The idea behind Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling Stones is such a simple, appealing one that it's a wonder that the record wasn't made before 1997. The Stones never made any secret of their debt to the blues, so it makes sense that their songs would sound good when performed by blues and R&B artists. That's the idea behind Paint It Blue -- ... see all copies from £10.42! new only from £26.07!
7	Simple Truths (2004) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist The return to CD of New York's favorite sons, the Holmes Brothers, is a welcome one. Indeed, while fans know what to expect -- a killer mélange of soul, blues, gospel, and funk -- those combinations are always surprising. Sherman and Wendell Holmes and drummer/vocalist Popsy Dixon have opted to work with producer Craig Street (Cassandra Wilson, ... see all copies from £5.58! new only from £11.64!
8	Roots Music: An American Journey (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Over the course of their 30-year career, Boston's Rounder Records has amassed an amazing catalog of recordings drawing on just about every American musical tradition you can think of. Known primarily as a bluegrass and folk label, Rounder has also released (both under their own imprint and through subsidiary labels like Heartbeat, Bullseye Blues, ... see all copies from £12.45! new only from £13.72!
9	20 Years of Stony Plain (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Twenty years is a remarkable track record for any independent label living in the modern age, let alone one that specializes in never-commercially-fashionable roots music while working from the industry Mecca of Edmonton, Alberta. As committed and timeless as keynote artists Ian Tyson, Cindy Church, Amos Garrett, Maria Muldaur, Dutch Mason, Long ... see all copies from £13.31! new only from £13.31!
10	Soul Street (1993) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist Soul Street continues the Holmes Brothers' tradition of doing tremendous covers ("You're Gonna Make Me Cry," "Down In Virginia" and "Fannie Mae"), authentic originals ("I Won't Hurt You Anymore," "Dashboard Bar") and adding gospel ("Walk in the Light") and honky tonk ("There Goes My Everything") into their blend. There's little to criticize about ... see all copies from £10.46! new only from £10.46!
11	Lotto Land (1996) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist see all copies from £6.46! new only from £6.46!
12	Righteous! The Essential Collection (2002) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist Andy Breslau described the Holmes Brothers' music as "gospel-infused doo wop funk," which pretty much captures the spirit and synthesis of their style. Combining old R&B, soul, and gospel, brothers Sherman and Wendell Holmes along with Popsy Dixon create a rich sound filled with lovely harmony. The intensity of the group's studio performances ... see all copies from £11.82! new only from £11.82!
13	Where It's At (1991) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist Their second release contained 11 more wonderful tunes that easily moved from surging R&B to rousing blues with an occasional venture into gospel or country. They covered "Drown in My Own Tears" and "High Heel Sneakers" and had the requisite qualities for each one down pat, as well as "Never Let Me Go, " "The Love You Save," and "I Saw the Light." ... see all copies from £4.04!
14	Voices of the Real World (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Voices of the Real World brings together a diverse collection of artists who represent some of the highlights of the first ten years of recordings on the Real World label. Perhaps because of the pop success of the label's founder, Peter Gabriel, Real World has succeeded more than any other record company at producing crossover hits for world ... see all copies from £4.98!
15	New Blues Hits (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This 18-track sampler from Bullseye Blues runs through a spate of 1996-1997 vintage releases to cobble together a nice selection from some of the label's better-known artists. Kicking off with the Persuasions' "Life Is Like a Ballgame" (in keeping with the baseball cover art motif), selected highlights from Smokin' Joe Kubek ("Can't See for Lookin ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £11.20!

18	Blues Fest: Modern Blues of the '90s (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist By the 1990s, the face of blues had changed immensely and this 18-track collection attempts to chronicle those changes. While old-timers like Buddy Guy, Charles Brown, and Etta James were still making new, groundbreaking music, second-liners like Billy Boy Arnold, Smokey Wilson, Willie Kent, and R.L. Burnside had moved up through the ranks to take ... see all copies from £16.80!

21	Jubilation (1992) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist Jubilation is a revealing, wonderful collection of the Holmes Brothers' distinctive soul. The brothers tie together a seemingly disconnected array of styles -- everything from straightforward blues, R&B, and gospel to worldbeat and country -- and come up with a cohesive whole. Even when the group delves into soukous or works with a Chinese flutist ... see all copies from £3.73!
