The Sister and Brothers

A short-lived band of somewhat mysterious account, the Sister and Brothers began being a quintet and released three singles throughout their two-year history — however they were singles of such quality that their storage lingers on in the thoughts of soul fans, and their influence fits the sheer obscurity from the employees and origins of the group. The debut record, “The Jed Clampett, Pts. 1-2,” and its own follow-up, the killer “Yeah, You Best,” arrived on Uni Information, while another one, “Ack-a-Fool,” made an appearance on Calla, all between 1968 and 1970. Cut at Deep South Documenting Studios in Baton Rouge, the Uni edges were acknowledged to Ron Shaab and Cool Gritz (sic) as co-producers. Regarding to postings on the house from the Groove blog page of Lafayette, Louisiana, researcher Dan Phillips, the Sister and Brothers had been Geraldine “Sister Gerry” Richard as well as the Cool Grits, the last mentioned a high instrumental group comprising Hog Cowart (bass), Jimmy O’Rourke (electric guitar), Billy Carter (keyboards), and Tubby Ziegler (drums). If the last mentioned four had been still area of the group for the Calla one is an open up question, relating to Phillips. But Ziegler and Cowart later on went on to try out with famous brands Brook Benton, the Bee Gees, and Dolly Parton, amongst others, and Ziegler was a part of Stephen Stills’ band for 3 years in the first ’70s. Next to nothing definitive is well known about the Sister and Brothers, but what appears certain is usually that everyone that has heard some of their information wants to learn more concerning this group, also to hear anything at night six tunes that are recognized to exist.
