#Spotlight Artist
Sisters and Brothers by The Vespers
The Vespers just recently released their newest album "Sisters and Brothers"
"Comprised of two pairs of siblings — the Cryar sisters and Jones brothers, all natives of Nashville, Tennessee — The Vespers
began making their own kind of rootsy, southern stomp in 2009, ... On their third album, Sisters and Brothers,
the Vespers combine Americana roots with pop melody and rock &
roll muscle."
Here is what I know. The Vespers brand of music is just that, their own. Their new album Sisters and Brothers is a great compilation of songs that makes you feel good and prompts you to want to keep listening. Check them out on iTunes
Right from the start with the opening tracks Break the Cycle and We Win this album doesn't let up. I can see this album and this band going somewhere and doing great things!

My favorite has to be the lyrics from the title track "Sisters and Brothers" The pointed lyrics say so much, especially now in a world where selfish greed and utter chaos reign. The song hits home like a hammer pounding the Valyrian Steel of "ICE" into a new sword named "Oathkeeper"..... (sorry ... but we have to finish this out you know!)

Sister and Brothers
"Living for our self, is no way to live at all.
Wake up one day, everybody's gone.
We already know the ending of the story.
We don't have to worry 'bout the little things.
Look out for your sisters, don't forget your brothers.
Got to take care of each other. Got to take care of each other."
The Vespers are about to go back on tour, after Phoebe takes a little time off to stay home with her new BABY!
Be sure to check them out if you can, I know I will!

#Album of the Week
The Light - by Uncle LuciusHELLO AUSTIN!
The Austin music scene is HUGE these days, and one band making their name is Uncle Lucius. Uncle Lucius just released their new album The Light.
This is a band that also creates their own style and sound. Country and Western roots are obvious, but if you are like me and are NOT a fan of the modern country, don't worry..... Uncle Lucius does NOT sound like that. Check out the single "Don't Own the Right"
From ballads like "Nothing to Save" with the electric piano (blues / jazz style), and steel guitar (country style), and the high pitches of bending guitar strings (blues/ rock). To the fun and whimsical sound of "Gulf Coast Gypsies" These songs show it all, as does this band!
According to their website, this album was tough one to come by. After finally getting out of a record deal from a bigger name company in Nashville, they went out on their own and through a grass-roots, D.I.Y. - "FAN-FUNDED" approach raised enough dough to hit the studio. The Light is the result and I for one say it was worth it.
The new album The Light is available on iTunes
