 arborweb reviews - review: The Gibson Brothers
Brother duets have a long tradition in country music, and these two men show they know all the moves in their beautifully thought-out arrangements.
Leigh and Eric Gibson don't come from the bluegrass heartland, but they did grow up in a land of fading farms and vanished livelihoods: the strip of upstate New York that abuts the Quebec border.
(This is grassroots music indeed, and the Gibson Brothers have probably played in front of enough tough barroom crowds that they can deliver a good time to just about anybody.) One of those shares its theme — the suspicious man confronting his girlfriend — with hundreds of other bluegrass songs.

 Rockzillaworld Gibson Brothers "Bona Fide" By Steve Cooper
After three well-received albums for the tiny Hay Holler label, the Gibson Brothers are poised for bigger things with their first album for Sugar Hill Records.
What helped to put the Gibsons into this vaunted position was a cut from their last Hay Holler CD, "She Paints A Picture," an aching ballad that saw heavy play on bluegrass stations.
The Brothers Gibson are from upstate New York, not middle Kentucky.

 The Gibson Brothers: Long Way Back Home - PopMatters Music Review
The Gibson Brothers aren't weepy-confessional (the relaxed, unmacho masculinity of their twangy voices, appropriate for their songs, pretty much preclude that) (thankfully), but they are sometimes confessional.
Though the gracious masculinity of their twangs ward off the singer-songwriter solipsism blues, the Gibson Brothers are also, as a result, more dependent than Krauss upon the actual words of their songs to give sense to their playing.
Devoid of Krauss's vocal gift, the Gibson Brothers would be better off spicing up their works with specific narrative or incident (as in the also-semi-autobiographical "I Gotta Get Back to You") rather than relying solely on the strength of a big emotion to put their songs across.

 Bluegrass Works Review :: Gibson Brothers
About seven years ago, Eric and Leigh Gibson were telling me about their brand of bluegrass which emphasized the old theory that “less is more.” They described it as bluegrass with control in which the instruments don’t crowd the singer or other instruments.
Now, the two brothers who were raised on a dairy farm in upstate New York have joined the roster of one of bluegrass’ most renown labels, Sugar Hill.
The Gibsons still emphasize two-part brother harmony, and it might be nice on future releases to hear more trios from the band, with little sis singing lead or harmony.

The Gibson Brothers' career moved rapidly after that.
1998 was a triumphant year for the brothers, as Another Night of Waiting took off (it eventually spent close to a year on Bluegrass Unlimited's airplay-based chart) and they earned the IBMA's emerging artist of the year award.
