The Keane Brothers - All Time Virtuoso Musicians, January 23, 2004
This review is from: Keane Brothers (Audio CD)
In the late 70's, I was mesmerized by this talented duo of barely 11 and 12 years of age. Both played instruments with as much dimension and skill as the older, more experienced musicians of the times. Tom played piano, bass, drums, vibraphones, and keyboard. John played drums, piano and guitar. These two virtuoso musicians (and terrific singers)offer a melodic treat of innocense in this album.
As many predicted back in the 70's... the Keanes made a huge imprint in the music industry. Today, Tom Keane is a recording producer specializing in Diversified music including hip hop, R&B, Rap. During the 80's - 90's Tom composed for artists like Celine Dion, Julio Iglesias, Chaka Khan (Through the fire, Chicago (Will you Still Love me, Barbara Streissand, Julio Iglesias, Jermaine Jackson, Al Jerreau and more. John Keane, after many years working as session drummer for groups such as Chicago, and producing original TV and Film music scores... is today the Music Composer for CSI (Crime Scene Investigation).
Both Keanes are much acclaimed music producers in the entertainment industry today.

A music lover of mid-70's pop, June 3, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Keane Brothers (Audio CD)
I can still remember watching the "Keane Brothers" television special in August of 1977. If my memory is correct, it ran for 4 straight weeks. It was a great family show and the "Keane Brothers" really showed their talent. Tom Keane was excellent on piano and vocals and his younger brother John Keane was also excellent on drums and also vocals. The one song that really sticks in my mind is "I Wanna Get Back On The Floor And Boogie". The song is full of energy and has a great beat, not to mention the lyrics. The two brothers together have a dynamic vocal range.....not to mention perfect harmonanies. Since I have purchased this CD, I have listened to it numerous times. It reminds me of my teenage years when music was fun and innocent. I once heard that the CD was out of print, but thanks to Amazon.Com, I have been able to locate it.
Anyone who likes Hanson, Arron Carter , or perhaps Billy Gilman would truly enjoy this CD.

"No Cheese Here"!, April 15, 2005
This review is from: Keane Brothers (Audio CD)
This is by far one of the most underated albums of the late 70's! great production and top notch musicianship these
"Talented" brothers Tom & John Keane were the real deal!and the pop groups of today could learn a lot from them in this day of cookie cutter bands, It's as fresh now as it was then. I mainly fancy 70's glam bands and hard rock metal but found this recording to be truely a work of "Art"....
