Song:I Got A Woman
Album:Red Letter Day
The Gibson Brothers are an excellent bluegrass group and have built a strong fanbase over the last decade. Eric Gibson plays banjo and Leigh Gibson plays guitar. Both guys sing and write songs. They grew up on a farm in upstate New York. There wasn't much to do so they got interested in bluegrass and started performing locally as teens. In 1991, they got together with bass player Mike Barber. He brought in his father dobro player Junior Barber. He's mostly a guitar teacher. They started touring and after releasing their 1994 debut independently, they signed with Hay Holler Records. They also gained an admirer in Ricky Skaggs and he worked with them behind the scenes as a producer. The Gibson Brothers signed with Sugar Hill Records in 2000 and released several CDs on the label. They write their own songs but also do covers. This version of the Ray Charles classic I Got A Woman is from their 2006 CD Red Letter Day. Junior Barber isn't on that album. Russ Pahl of The Great Plains plays dobro on the CD. The Gibson Brothers have left Sugar Hill and their latest CD Ring The Bell was released in May on Compass Records. These guys are really good so if you're into bluegrass, you should check them out. Here's the video for I Got A Woman by The Gibson Brothers.
