Description:
Produced by Simple Truths helmsman Craig Street, State of Grace is the best record yet of The Holmes Brothers astonishingly fresh blend of American roots sounds. Fans of their revelatory interpretations of classic songs will thrill to not only `(Whats So Funny Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding?,` but also a hushed and heavenly `I Want You To Want Me` and their heated Cajun workout on `Bad Moon Rising.` The record also features songs by Lyle Lovett, Hank Williams and George Jones, along with several soulful Holmes Brothers originals. Accompanying the band are an all-star cast of singers and instrumentalists, including Rosanne Cash, Joan Osborne, Levon Helm, Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan), John Leventhal and Catherine Russell.
