Sorry about the hiatus. My work has been eating my life lately. Hope that this post is a first step toward a full-fledged re-engagement with MOG.I'd never heard of the Holmes Brothers until Cody (who else?) facilitated the introduction. In their blissfully under-the-radar way, they may just be the best purveyors of cover versions out there. When a song is reinvented by them, it stays reinvented. As you shall shortly hear.Don't know much about these guys (two actual brothers, Wendell on guitar and Sherman on bass, plus Popsy Dixon on drums. And everybody sings), except that they've been knocking around for 30 or 40 years, gigging here and there and always working steadily. They can do blues, gospel, country and western, soul, et al. But instead of furrowing individual grooves in each genre, they have the ability to contain all of them in a coherent and somehow inevitable sound.I think you'll be pretty amazed by what they do with "Peace, Love and Understanding." I found myself wondering why no one else had thought of treating the song this way. And two more standouts appear in the comments, including a special surprise for Deadman.
