Overview
"State of Grace" is a masterclass in American roots music from the legendary trio The Holmes Brothers.

The Brothers—Sherman Holmes, Wendell Holmes, and Popsy Dixon—are joined by an incredible cast of guest stars including Levon Helm, Rosanne Cash, and Joan Osborne. From high-energy gospel "shouts" to tender, harmony-drenched ballads, "State of Grace" is a testament to the power of faith and music to uplift the human spirit. It is an essential listen for fans of authentic, heart-on-sleeve Americana.
Overview (Magyar nyelven)
A "State of Grace" az amerikai gyökérzene mesterpéldánya a legendás The Holmes Brothers triótól. Ez a mélyen érzelmes és spirituálisan gazdag album zökkenőmentesen ötvözi a blues, a gospel és a country-folk elemeit. A Holmes testvérekhez – Shermanhez, Wendellhez és Popsy Dixonhoz – olyan neves vendégművészek csatlakoznak, mint Levon Helm, Rosanne Cash és Joan Osborne. A nagy energiájú gospel "kiáltásoktól" a gyengéd, többszólamú harmóniákban gazdag balladákig a "State of Grace" ékes bizonyítéka a hit és a zene lélekemelő erejének. Elengedhetetlen darab az autentikus, őszinte amerikai zene kedvelői számára.
