THE HOLMES BROTHERS
Speaking In Tongues (Stony Plain)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

Funny how the ageless wonders of gospel music find resurrection with each and every release. This time around The Holmes Brothers borrow fresh material (three tunes) from Ben Harper and give it a traditional Baptism. The added church soul converts "Homeless Child", "I Shall Not Walk Alone" and "I Want To Be Ready" into the Sunday morning classics they so richly deserve to be. There's something truly heavenly about the trio's harmonies that brings new dimensions to any song you think you've heard. Check out the thrilling take on the old O'Jays' classic "Love Train", and tell me otherwise.
