External Review:
"On the Holmes Brothers' 2007 album, State of Grace, Wendell Holmes sang about how a cancer diagnosis stopped him in his tracks--but apparently not for long. The trio's 10th studio set, Feed My Soul, sports a career-high nine originals and finds Wendell proudly declaring that "Living Well is the Best Revenge." The 14-track album traverses the Holmes' usual blend of soul, gospel and blues with born-again vigor. Highlights include the rolling bass and chicken-scratch guitar on Dark Cloud, the country western flavors of Edge of the Ledge and Something Is Missing (an unrecorded John Ellison composition) and the foot-stomping grit of Rounding Third. Produced by their good pal Joan Osborne (who also helped with the group's 2001 breakthrough, Speaking in Tongues), Wendell, Sherman and brother-in-spirit Popsy Dixon treat the Beatles' I'll Be Back to a rich, Four Tops-style arrangement and showcase their beautifully earthy harmonies on the title track and the doo-wop styled Pledging My Love."
