The Simple Magic of the Delmore Brothers, January 22, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Brown's Ferry Blues (Audio CD)
Without a doubt, Alton and Raybon Delmore were among the most talented acts on the Grand Ole Opry during the 1930s. This wonderful CD provides a good cross-section of many of their original songs as well as fine renditions of old standards. I have listened to their music for years, and I am still amazed at their articulate musicianship and the ease with which they produce the closest of harmonies, more one voice than two. Little wonder they are credited with influencing so many artists who followed. And if I may, I still wonder at the oversight at the Country Music Hall of Fame for failing to induct these two--the most popular Opry act in the 1930s--into their honored number.
