VA - Soul Brothers By Name (A Butterboy Compilation) (3 x CD's)



SOUL BROTHERS

VA - Soul Brothers By Name (A Butterboy Compilation) (3 x CD's)

There are many bands that contain the sibling link of "Brothers" in their band name. Some are brothers some are not however, when you listen to the music there is real connection in most of the bands. This compilation has been created to showcase Band that have the title "Brothers" included in their names across all genres. There are many artists you know and many fewer known artists. I didn't include sibling bands (that will be another comp, later). Simply, bands that had Brother in their name is all that matters here.

I was somewhat surprised by the number of soul artists that had "Brother" in their names. I probably should not have been so surprised as the term "Soul Brothers" has been commonplace for many years. So rather than covering all genres of "Brother" bands I decided to concentrate on only Soul related "Brother bands. Her for your listening enjoyment are 75 soul songs that will make you dance; make you cry and make you think just a little. Enjoy!

    1. Hi George,
      Not sure why I didn't place a Brothers Johnson track here as I have quite a bit of their output. Probably should have included I'll Be Good To You or Strawberry Letter 23 as your pointed out. I am still baffled why they were not included. Thanks for commenting.

      Cheers.

  4. Unfortunately the link leads to Rock brothers by name, cd 5 & 6, also great (many thanks for that compilation), but I would like to download Soul Brothers as well. Could you please provide the correct link?
