Hit: 5 Stars
A little background: I wouldn't describe myself as a blues (or whatever variation of blues this is) fan and I'd never heard of any of the people on this CD before I stumbled onto this album, but the samples sounded interesting and one of Amazon's Marketplace sellers was selling it cheap so I tried it. That said...
This is great stuff. I'm not a big fan of the first track (Rock Daniel), but as a whole this is genuinely engaging. The best music compels me to stop everything I'm doing and give it my full attention and this does that in spades.
You can get an idea of the music listening to the samples online but they don't do justice to what you'll hear listening to the SACD multichannel version on a nice system. Performances and recording are flawless. Surrounds place the listener on the stage with the performers on most tracks. Main performers are up front, but background vocals and instruments have a strong presence in the surrounds on several tracks. My subwoofer even gets used a little and it only kicks in for the lowest material. Definitely a strong multichannel mix that may not may not be to everyone's tastes but it really works for me. This hybrid disk has a CD layer as well as high resolution SACD stereo and 5.1 versions but I've only listened to the SACD 5.1 version.
Recommended without hesitation.

Sisters & Brothers (Multichannel Hybrid SACD) Poster
That the trio recorded this stunning, spiritual-minded collaboration in the town of Unity, Maine, is one of life's fortuitous coincidences. Although their voices are dissimilar, Maria Muldaur, Eric Bibb, and Rory Block share roots in folk, gospel, and blues. Brought together, along with a three-piece backing band, in a barn-turned-recording-studio by producer Randy Labbe, the trio cooks up a feisty musical feast that sounds so comfortable and joyous, it seems they were lost soulmates finally joined in song. Bibb's smooth Keb' Mo'-style vocals join Muldaur's huskier, sassy approach and Block's deep blues on a combination of originals and covers that showcase each artist's strengths, both solo and in tandem with the others. From contemporary classics such as Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody" and Bill Withers's sublime "Lean on Me" to a languid version of Jimmy Reed's "Little Rain" and a swampy, roof-raising "My Sisters and Brothers," this upbeat album never gets predictable, preachy, or clichéd. --Hal HorowitzBlues Music CDs
