Album Notes

Grant Lyle and Brotherhood are quickly becoming one of Toronto's favorite power blues bands. The band captures the authentic feel of the old-style blues but presents the music in a captivating and fresh style.

Formed in 1998 by Grant Lyle, Brotherhood combines a mix of excellent and seasoned musicianship with youthful energy and enthusiasm.

The band's second recording "It's Worth It", released in February 2001, was co-produced by Bob Doidge (Johnny Cash, U2, Holly Cole) of Grant Avenue Studios. This album has the warm sound of a live recording and makes you feel as though you were in the room with the band. The four cover songs used on the CD have been treated with great respect but have emerged very much as Brotherhood's "own". The six original compositions are fresh and showcase the combined talents of the band members.

The CD has been receiving accolades from various Blues DJ's all around the world. It has been featured on blues programs in France, Holland, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Columbia, Cuba, Canada, Australia and Russia.

In the Summer 2001 issue of Real Blues magazine in British Columbia (Canada), it was nominated as number 4 (out of 11) best Canadian Blues Releases.

On this album, the band features Grant Lyle on guitar and vocals, Steve Woods on drums and Scott Brammer on bass. This line up has changed in 2002.

Grant Lyle and Brotherhood have performed at various blues and roots festivals in Ontario, including the Barrie Blues Festiva, the Beaches Blues Festival and at various other special events in and around the GTA. They hold a regular Sunday night spot at Toronto's Chicago's Diner where many regulars drop by, and musician friends often sit in.

Recent achievements for the band have included appearances on Toronto's Breakfast Television and on Barrie, Ontario based CKVR's Grow TV show where their original music was used for the background music for an entire show.

REVIEWS

Unforgetable!

This review was printed the October 2001, Vol 16, No. 10 issue of Entertainment News under Country and Western Corner, in the Catch This Music, Catch A Rising Star section.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Grant Lyle and Brotherhood "It's Worth It" CD runs you through 10 cuts of blues that I have to admit are unforgetable!

Grant Lyle, Scott Brammer and Steve Woods are class showmen and a perfect example of GREAT musicians. 

"It's Worth it", "Don't Go No Further" and "Found the One" are fitting soon-to-be-radio hits. The vocals of Grant are wonderfully clear, yet not covered up by the musical production. This is fantastic in a market where LOUD seems to rule. Love it all."

This review is from fellow Canadian musician and bluesman Frank Cosentino. This was his reaction after receiving the CD!

 "I really like the new CD man! I just LOVE that first track. It's killer, awesome.....  I listened to the whole album last night, then I listened to it again today on my walkman, while I was out jogging. I really liked the production on the CD. Those guys REALLY know what they're doing at that studio. The band sounds just as though you were listening to them live. I loved it.

I also really liked the cover and liner artwork. I think the whole package looks very classy. Congratulations Grant, you should be very proud of yourself - it's great!"

Thanks so much for the new CD.
I took a quick listen here at work and I think its great.
This review comes from Deborah Cartmer, host of the blues show "Eclectic Blues" (Tuesdays noon - 2pm on CFBU 103.7 FM (Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario Canada)). 

Deborah received an advance copy of the new album in late November 2000 and says: "I particularly like "Don't Go No Farther" (will definitely play that next week, probably at the top of the hour), "Traces" and 
"Satellite". ...."
