Come Morning

The Bros. Landreth

In 2013, Winnipeg’s Joey and David Landreth made a momentous decision. Instead of playing in other people’s bands, they started their own, simply called The Bros. Landreth.

Their first album went on to win Juno and Canadian Folk Music awards. Their music is an eclectic mix of country, southern blues, folk, and funky soul. The brothers have just released their latest album, called Come Morning. I think it’s great. It is more introspective than their past albums, but the harmonies and lyrics make this one sparkle. I can’t say enough about the beautiful ballads the Landreth brothers have written here. The mix is top notch. It’s uncluttered, with some tasty slide and steel guitar, organ, and backing vocals. Favourite songs include the funky ballad “Stay.” Its harmonies are outstanding.

The beautiful “Back to Thee” also gets a nod. It’s no wonder musicians like Bonnie Raitt want to cover their songs. They are simply great.
