Absolutely Gospel Music Awards To Pay Tribute To The Easter Brothers

Posted on: April 15th, 2014 by Jared Easter

20140414-200213.jpgNashville, TN (March 14, 2014) The Absolutely Gospel Music Awards is happening on April 15th at River of Life Church in Smyrna, TN. It will be a great night for many in Southern Gospel Music, but a special honor will be given to the ever popular Easter Brothers.

For over sixty years this trio of brothers have helped to forge a new frontier in Gospel music with their unique style. Some would call their style of singing ‘Bluegrass Gospel’, while others have termed it ‘Traditional Country Gospel’, but whatever you call it, call it good Gospel Music. Many of their songs were recorded by other groups and have become standards. Among them are “Thank You Lord For Your Blessings On Me,” “The Darkest Hour,” “They’re Holding Up The Ladder,” “He’s The Rock I’m Leaning On,” “Help Me Stand Lord,” “Jesus, You’ve Just Made My Day,” “Heart That Will Never Break Again,” “Please Don’t Tell My Daddy,” “Hand Me Downs” – all just a few of the hundreds of songs penned by the three brothers. Their songs will live on in the hearts and minds of Gospel Music lovers for many generations to come.

Deon Unthank, President of AbsolutlelyGospel.com stated “What an honor to recognize the Easter Brothers for over sixty years of success not just singing, but writing many songs that have become classics in the Gospel Music genre. What better way to forget about the IRS and your taxes than celebrating with the Easter Brothers.”

Many artists are contributing to this special tribute including Jeff and Sheri Easter, The Isaacs, Kelly Nelon, The Freemans, and special guests, bluegrass icons, Daily and Vincent.

Bluegrass and Country Gospel legends The Easter Brothers return with their first release in over a decade.

After more than 60 years in music, the iconic Easter Brothers are better than ever and now introduce I’d Do It All Over Again on Pisgah Ridge Records.

Russell, James and Edd are legendary songwriters, writing enduring classics like “Thank You, Lord, for Your Blessings on Me” and “They’re Holding Up The Ladder.” I’d Do It All Over Again continues their tradition of great original songs performed at a level worthy of their legacy.

The leadoff track “Let the Hallelujahs Roll” takes off with the familiar and uplifting Easter Brothers Bluegrass sound. The album continues with many new songs from the three, like “You Can’t Judge a Book By Its Cover,” “The Lost Sheep,” the sentimental “The Good Ole Days,” and the classic-sounding “I Didn’t Leave Like I Came.”

I’ll Do It All Over Again welcomes you back to the Easter Brothers and is a fresh and vivid reminder of what has made them legends. You’ll be so glad they decided to do it all over again.

Available February 18, 2014 at Easter Brothers Online Store, Crossroads, iTunes and AmazonMP3.

New Project

Posted on: September 18th, 2013 by Linda Thompson

The Easter Brothers are proud to announce the upcoming completion of our first brand new project in over a decade. The project is set to release sometime in early 2014, and will feature some brand new original music composed by the Easter Brothers and Dove Award winning gospel songwriter, Gerald Crabb. In addition to brand new material, the CD will also feature some Easter Brothers favorites from the past, recorded and presented in a brand new light. As we draw nearer to the projects release date, we will be sure to keep everyone updated as to the exact date it will be available. We’ve prayed for many years about doing this project, and our prayer is that it will bless all who hear it. God Bless you!

Welcome!
