Counting down towards the release of our CD which will be around Easter, here's another demo song which was recorded at the scullery table in one take. "Beautiful Robes" is an old song often performed by Charlie Poole (1892 - 1931), and was written by Barney Elliott Warren (1867 - 1951) in 1897. Our good friend Colin Agnew sent this to us (as he did previously with "Gran Time Comin" and "The Hallelujah Man" to name just two!) as he figured it would suit our style. Lyrics are available here. Hope you enjoy its simplicity.

(ex Low Country Boys) - Welcome to the Thompson Brothers' blog, by Mark Thompson and Graeme Thompson, founders and original lead vocalists of the Low Country Boys. These days we're doing something similar but simpler - old-time gospel music in the classic mandolin/guitar "brother duet" tradition of the early 1900s. This blog will tell you more about the great brother duets, and other aspects of evangelical rural American culture and its Scotch-Irish / Ulster-Scots cultural roots - and a wee bit about our own music too.
