Sons of Sylvia is composed of three brothers who have backed up Carrie Underwood for years. As The Clark Brothers, Adam, Ashley and Austin won a reality show contest called The Next Great American Band and they’ve broken off on their own now after the name change. They continue to perform with Carrie, too.
I downloaded their album, Revelation, from iTunes some time ago but it disappeared when my laptop went wonky a few months ago and had to be reformatted. So imagine my delight when I found it in a stack of CDs, movies, books and other doodads in my company’s annual garage sale for the United Way. One toonie later, it was mine. There isn’t a dud song on it and when I played the title track for Derek the other night it gave him shivers. It’s especially poignant with the 30th anniversary of John Lennon’s murder just days away, on December 8th.
Vive la différence!
