"Help My Brother held the #1 position on the Bluegrass Unlimited Album chart for 8 months, and it was still charting on the BU Top 30 more than a year after its release.
In July 2014 they signed with Rounder Records, and their first release on that label, "Brotherhood," is an homage to the brother duos that have inspired them since childhood. They chose fifteen songs from country, bluegrass and early rock 'n' roll brother acts including some who will be familiar to most listeners, such as Phil & Don Everly, Charlie & Ira Louvin, Jim & Jesse McReynolds and Carter& Ralph Stanley, and some lesser-known acts, including the Blue Sky Boys, the Church Brothers and the York Brothers.
"To say they've got the classic brother duet thing down is an understatement; they own it. - Michael Eck, No Depression
"Eric and Leigh Gibson might have, pound-for-pound, the most impeccably fine-sounding traditional bluegrass band on the contemporary scene. ...the reason these guys can’t lose is that, quite simply, they sound so great. Eric and Leigh sing bluegrass’ tightest harmony blend and instrumentally the group plays with unmatched alacrity and taste." - Steve Leftridge-PopMatters
