The album’s overarching theme is the important things in life, a message which harkens back to the childhood Leigh and Eric shared growing up on the family farm in upstate New York. Each of the songs on the album enforces this uplifting motif. The title track “Help My Brother” was written by Leigh Gibson and explores the golden rule in a new light. “Walking West to Memphis” recounts the story of a roustabout who, down on his luck, realizes that the happiness he seeks will be found in the arms of his Memphis girl. The Brothers also pay tribute to classic brother duos on a pair of covers: “He Can Be Found in a Mother’s Smile” (The Louvin Brothers) and “I’ll Love Nobody But You” (Jim and Jesse McReynolds). With its uplifting message and tight brother harmonies, HELP MY BROTHER will further establish The Gibson Brothers as one of the most important bands in bluegrass music today.
