The Gibson Brothers Ring The Bell

Price: $32.95

The collection of a dozen songs features six original pieces (including a co-write with Bob DiPiero); new songs by Shawn Camp/Paul Kennerly, Chet O’Keefe, Joe Newberry and Marshall Warwick; and a relatively obscure Tom Petty song, Angel Dream. Staying true to their farm boy roots, the Gibson Brothers recorded two agricultural-themed songs for this record, one written by Leigh (Bottomland) and one by Eric (Farm Of Yesterday). The latter was written as a tribute to their parents and the family dairy farm that belonged to the Gibson family from 1865 through to 2000. The Gibson Brothers may not be from the South (they hail from upstate New York), and they may not all be brothers (half of the quartet is a father-son pair), but as RING THE BELL shows, they can turn out some contemporary bluegrass that's got more roots than most of the group's hot-pickin' peers.
