    Brother

    By Scott  Apr 19, 2001

    Brother is without a doubt one of the most unique rock groups that have hit the US form any other "english" speaking nation in the world.The two brothers for whom the group is named are Austrailian by orign but Scottish by decent. Because of this it ...isnt suprising to see them on stage in the traditional tartan kilt.What is surprising is to hear them mix traditional Celtic and Aborignial music in with rock to create one of the most unique styles there is.Dont let this fool you into thinking that its just anotherflash in the pan mixture. The musical talent and song writing abilities of these talented artists make for one hell of a hot sound. THe use of the bag pipes and the digerydo in conjunction with the standard electric gituar and drums (and several other "traditional" rock insutruments creates a driving rythym that will have you standing and dancing where ever you listen to them, be it at home or at one of many concerts as they tour across the "states".BOTTOM LINE: BUY the CD, BUY them ALL.

  • All Music Guide

    While Brother's previous album Exit From Screechville seemed to drift noticeably from the band's traditional roots in an effort to establish a big rock sound (à la Scorpions on watered-down Scotch whiskey), Black Stone Tramp does a more equitable job of balancing the two. In fact, this album challenges Wolfstone's early- to mid-'90s releases as the premier of Highland pipes-led rock recordings. Tracks like "Mr. Maintenance," "He'den.bro," "Paddy's Leather Breeches," and "The Clumsy Lover" clearly display the talents of the piping brothers Hamish, Angus, and Fergus. They also double on all other instruments (except percussion) like didgeridoo, whistles, guitars, bass, and mandolin. Produced by Ross Hogarth, Black Stone Tramp adopts clear American attributes while still retaining Australia's undeniable Scottish heritage.
