At 87 years old, the one surviving member of the iconic Holmes Brothers shows he still keeps a tireless energy and physical good shape. Released by the prestigious Nola Blue Records label, this eleven-track record masterfully combines traditional genres such as blues, soul and gospel. Moving away from his usual solo recordings, this release captures again the straightforward, emotional and original sound that defined his former family band.<\/p>\n<p>Sherman\u2019s commanding and warm baritone voice leads the whole repertoire, backed by a sophisticated production. The title track which opens the album, immediately stands out for the amazing arrangements coming from the reputed Muscle Shoals Horns, who inject an irresistible swing. Listening to the whole album you will find memorable tracks, such as the funk-infused \u201cVoices in the Hall\u201d and the energetic \u201cStrike While The Iron Is Hot,\u201d where dynamic guitar phrasing fuses with an exceptionally solid rhythm section. One of the album&#8217;s most poignant moments arrives with the gospel ballad \u201cOh America\u201d, enriched by the heavenly vocal harmonies of The Honorary Holmes Sisters. Holmes also pays tribute to his own history, recovering a version of \u201cI&#8217;m So Lonely,\u201d an original The Holmes Brothers\u2019 composition.<\/p>\n<p>An album that can be classified as a mature, vital and deeply honest one, that will certainly captivate both blues nostalgic fans and new audiences alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOne Step Ahead Of The Blues\u201d is the vibrant studio album released in October 2026 by the legendary American singer and bass player Sherman Holmes.
