PERNICE BROTHERS- Yours, Mine & Ours
I'm thinking about making a documentary film about the brothers Joe and Bob Pernice. They've been around for quite a while and made a number of outstanding records. Their sound is pretty simple. Some call it a mixture of stark alternative country and ornate chamber pop. I figure it's just plainly honest, openhearted ballads - rich songs about the poorer moments in life. In each one there's always a charm, though, a hope that everyone can grasp. In the future, people will speak about the Pernice Brothers in the same way as Love, The Left Banke, and Big Star. Not the capital "C" classics, just the lowercase ones, the sincerely good ones, no hype. Sound interesting? Filming starts soon.
