The Cate Brothers Live 1998

Live is a recording of southern soul and blues group The Cate Brothers in concert.

According to AllMusic.com, it was recorded on the 23rd and 24th of October 1998. It was released in August 1999.

I saw the Cate Brothers perform In One Eye & Out The Other on the Old Grey Whistle Test on BBC2 in about 1976 and I was hooked by their sound.

I don’t understand why they aren’t much better known and much more popular.

Other Live Albums You Might Like

The Cate Brothers funky and soul based version of Southern rock is a long way from what you may have heard on songs like Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
