Free Music Notes for Brother to Brother
Free Music Review: An attractive and melodic effort
Hit: 3 Stars
Johnny Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Donnie Van Zant (38 Special) joined forces and released the album "Brother to brother" in 1998. The musical approach is southern rock but it has a bit of a commercial touch to it. Songs like "Show me", "I'm a want you kinda man", and "Right side up" have the potential of becoming hits if they were included on the radio station's play lists. In "That was yesterday" you get a light feeling of Jack Blades (Night Ranger) and his way of writing songs, while "Black bottom road" reminds of Tony Joe White. Most of the time it's mid tempo songs, but the brothers had the good taste of including a real rocker by the name of "Downright and dangerous". There's also some ballads on this disc, but apart from "Can't say it loud enough" they are not thrilling, and neither "Brother to brother" or "Friend" stand out as something more than the ordinary. Over all, this is a melodic and attractive effort from the Van Zant brothers and the album is a good compliment to both Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special. But a warning may be raised; if you're way into southern rock of a harder kind you might find this album too soft.Free Music Review: 5 Stars For These Righteous Road Warriors

BROTHER TO BROTHER is a great project from Johnny and Donnie Van Zant. This album combines the influences of the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, the Outlaws, and .38 Special. "Rage" and "Can't Say It Loud Enough" call on listeners not to sell themselves out to anyone, and are among the album's best songs, along with "Right Side Up", which is about a person waking up and smelling the coffee after nearly sabotaging their looks on alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and/or junk food; "Livin' A Lie", which is a wake-up call to someone about to self-destruct; and several other songs. There are a few songs that are not so great, but the Van Zants' belief that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since 2005 for drug-smuggling was unjustly convicted makes BROTHER TO BROTHER an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.Free Music Review: Better than Van Zant II
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow! I am so glad I bought this CD. The absolutely best I've heard in a long time.Free Music Review: Not as good as Van Zant II ... but very close!!
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this CD after almost wearing out my Van Zant II CD. I'm a big Lynard Skynard fan and make every concert when they come to this area. Also like 38 Special (but not as much as LS), so I knew I'd enjoy this CD. As I mentioned in my subject line, this CD isn't a good as Van Zant II ... but still would highly recommend it. If I could have given this CD 4 3/4 stars I would have ... since that's what I think it should be rated.
Free Music Review: Best CD In My Collection
Hit: 5 Stars
I picked this CD up because of the links to Lynyrd Skynyrd, and I was not disappointed. Johnny and Donnie are fantastic artists just like their older brother Ronnie. I bought a Brother To Brother CD for most of my family members and friends so I can listen to the tunes while visiting. I am looking forward to the Van Zant II CD. I have seen both brothers perform with Lynyrd Skynyrd and .38 Special respectively, and would love to see the brothers perform together. Ronnie would be very proud. Tom-
