The centerpiece on Feed My Soul is the reflective “Something is Missing,” a recurring theme throughout the album. The Brothers sing about missing children on “Dark Clouds,” missing money on “Edge of the Ledge,” missing action on the sly “You’re the Kind of Trouble,” missing friends on “Fair Weather Friends” and missing your woman on “Rounding Third.” The title track is a wonderful, emotional ballad that addresses love when it fires on all cylinders. There’s a couple of diverse covers here—“I’ll Be Back” by the Beatles and Johnny Ace’s timeless “Pledging My Love,” both of which work. The Holmes Brothers are one of those bands we’d like to see perform in these parts one day soon. Led by Wendell Holmes on guitar and vocals, the brothers play a folksy brand of R&B that favors mandolins over horns. Excellent stuff here from beginning to end. Well worth tracking down.
