David Greenberger reviews Forever and a Day, by the Sprague Brothers. They are indeed two brothers, Frank and Chris. They write all their own songs, play all the instruments, and they look and sound like they've stepped out of a time machine from the 1950s. Their musical idols are Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, and Bobby Fuller. They are no mere revivalists; they draw on the rock and roll sound of the 50s and early 60s, but infuse it with their own character. The album can be found on the HMG label / http://www.hightone.com
