The Holmes Brothers – Lotto Land (OST)
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. The Holmes Brothers' voices are too potent, their harmonies too smashing and their love of vintage sounds too immense for them to be content with producer-dominated, softer urban contemporary sounds. Those dozen more wonderful tunes that easily moved from surging R&B to rousing blues with an occasional venture into gospel or country comprise the band's fifth album, Lotto Land, its first collection of all-original material. If straight-ahead, rousing shared leads and booming harmonies interest you, The Holmes Brothers do it the way they used to throughout the South in the '60s and '70s, and there's little to criticize about the Brothers; their sound, vocals and harmonies aren't laid-back or restrained, and everything they sing is done with exuberance and integrity. It may not be commercially viable, but it's musically sound.
