There’s a reason why Ricky Skaggs pulled Eric and Leigh Gibson off the stage at the Ryman two decades ago and offered to produce their debut record. The Gibson Brothers are the real deal. They can pick. They can sing. And they can write a damn good country song. They’ve won about every bluegrass award you can name and released albums on almost every premier Americana label you can think of and their songs have been recorded by bluegrass legends no less than Del McCoury. It’s a resume almost anybody in country music would be proud to have. But despite all of this, the Gibson Brothers are not yet household names. Their latest album, Darkest Hour, produced by dobro master Jerry Douglas might just change that.
As soon as you hear Leigh Gibson singing with Alison Krauss on the new project you realize that his voice is as good as anyone in music today. Add the brother harmony to that and they have something truly unique. While Mockingbird featured gorgeous production, recreating the sound on stage was difficult. Jerry Douglas—who has won 14 Grammy awards and backed up everyone from Ray Charles to Paul Simon and George Jones—wanted to make a record they could actually play on the road. He picked the best songs (out of dozens) and squirreled them away. But then the pandemic hit. They cut all of the acoustic stuff and then went home and didn't play any more gigs until things started opening. They went back and finished the record with Douglas in February of 2021. The result is arguably the strongest record The Gibson Brothers have ever made.
