Celebrating 11 plus years of Music and Interviews with the Legends and those becoming.......

Shows Beginning May 18^th   ERIC GIBSON CLASSIC

Welcome Eric Gibson back to the show. He, along with brother Leigh are known as The Gibson Brothers. They are the real deal. They can pick, they can sing, and they write good country and bluegrass songs. It's the reason Ricky Skaggs pulled them off the stage at the Ryman twenty years ago and produced their debut album. They have won about every bluegrass award you can name and released albums on almost every American label including Sugar Hill and Rounder and their songs have been recorded by many legendary artists including Del McCoury.

Their album, The Darkest Hour, pictured above, was produced by 14 time Grammy Award winner, dobro master Jerry Douglas. Jerry wanted to produce an album with some of the Gibson Brothers best songs and wanted to hear everything they'd ever written. Some songs were brand new, some old, some more than 20 years old and never before recorded.

So, The Brothers joined Jerry at Sound Emporium's Studio B and started recording his selection of their 'best songs'. Then the pandemic hit......they recorded all the aoustic stuff and suspended the project until February 2021. Back in the studio after Covid, Jerry and the Gibson Brothers along with additional guest artists, completed the album.

Join Steve during one of the shows on the days and times listed above week of May 18^th by clicking on the station links AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME as he features music from 'Darkest Hour' and chats with Eric about some of the tracks and some of the legendary artists that joined them. Among the tracks is a duet featuring Leigh, whose voice is as good as anyone in the business today, with Alison Krauss on harmony. And of course, the special harmonies that siblings bring to music are prominent. As always, Eric provides insight into the album, working with Jerry Douglas, Alison and others in a very entertaining interview.
