Jim Ed Brown - Going Up the Country (2021) Hi-Res

In each of these roles he extended the smooth-singing tradition established by country stars such as Red Foley, Eddy Arnold, and Jim Reeves. The Browns—a trio he formed with sisters Maxine and Bonnie—were perhaps the most important vocal act of the Nashville Sound era. Their harmonies influenced the Beatles and the Osborne Brothers, and their approach can still be heard in the music of modern vocal groups including Lady Antebellum and Little Big Town. With the Browns, as a solo artist, and as a duet singer, Jim Ed recorded hits from 1954 into the early 1980s.
