Full details:

Noted for their ability to transform songs by legendary writers, from The Beatles to Tom Waits to Bob Marley, The Holmes Brothers push that tradition even farther on their new album State of Grace, where they expertly reinvent songs by diverse songwriters.

Naomi Shelton is no ordinary gospel singer. Though she, like many others, grew up singing with her sisters in their Alabama church, she has also spent much of her life in the soul clubs around New York. With her first official full-length release coming this month, it shows that her singing is equally influenced by both facets of her life.
