Synopsis

Product Description
With Iron & Diamonds, Eric and Leigh have taken their rightful place on the American jukebox. The Gibsons have made a conscious effort to co-write most of the songs on this album. By using their own band and a single microphone for their duet vocals, you hear exactly what you hear in a live show: a tight ensemble that plays to the song, toneful and nuanced lead and duet harmonies, and songs that can move you to tears or to the dance floor.

CD Reviews

Great modern-day country-folk-bluegrass blend
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 04/08/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"True-blue torchbearers of the country-tinged folk-grass tradition of 1970s-era bands such as New Grass Revival and the Seldom Scene, the Gibson Brothers -- Eric and Leigh -- have made one solid album after another, and "Iron And Diamonds" may be their best to date. Stepping back a bit from the pop-tinged material of the last few years, here they deliver a pure acoustic set, one that zeros in one their greatest strengths: their deep roots in the style, their knack for crafting simple, pure melodies, and their spotless brother-duo vocal harmonies. Everything on this album flows smoothly-- each song is a gem, and the transitions from track to track are seamless. This is one of those records that winds up in the CD player for week after week -- you keep thinking you'll take it out and move on to something new, but somehow it keeps popping up, sounding better each time it spins around. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue music reviews)"
Music--Beautiful -- Brothers-- Gibson
Richard Davis, Jr. | 12/22/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Tight harmonies, masterfully written, picked, sung and performed. This is a wonderful addition for anyone who appreciates great music regardless of genre because the Brothers Gibson so eloquently blur the lines.



Is it bluegrass? Is it folk? Is it Country? Is it rock? Is it jazz. Is it all of the above or none of the above?



5 stars beautiful music--and highly entertaining!
