Quintessentially Soul Brothers: The Sales Brothers In Their Own Words.
. Author: Stephanie Lynne Thorburn
. Category: Nonfiction
. Description: The Sales Brothers have survived a diversity of musical incarnations and invariably collaborated in esteemed company since the inception of their careers. Having recorded with Todd Rundgren, they joined Iggy Pop’s solo band in 1977, forming the rhythm section for the legendary 'Lust For Life' album, recorded in Hansa Studios by the Berlin wall. Over a decade later at the close of 1988, the Sales Brothers established Tin Machine with David Bowie and virtuoso guitarist Reeves Gabrels. Tin Machine proved to be an iconoclastic project genre wise and was a challenging proto-grunge act that confounded the expectations of fans and critics alike.
Despite their formidable musical ‘C.V.s’, the Sales Brothers retrospective of solo recordings nevertheless remained hidden from the public domain until recently. Their own album ‘Hired Guns’ was recorded at the close of the 1970’s. The project conveys their true musical roots, capturing a quintessentially vibrant form of blue-eyed soul and penetrating R & B, centred on the brothers’ natural affinity with the Stax/ Volt legacy. The Hired Guns album is doubtless a lost archival treasure, destined for obscurity until Perseverance Records took the initiative of producing a quality album package.
In ‘Quintessentially Soul Brothers: The Sales Brothers In Their Own Words’, author Stephanie Lynne Thorburn offers in-depth interviews with drummer Hunt Sales and bassist Tony Sales. The text features a detailed biographical overview and succinct testimonials from some of the Sales Brothers’ colleagues and friends, namely guitarists James Williamson (Stooges), Reeves Gabrels and Brian Ray. Extensive discography links and archival photos are included. Foreword by Sales Brothers’ longtime engineer/ producer Chas Ferry. The eBook is augmented with an obituary to Hunt and Tony’s father, comedian and TV host Soupy Sales, who sadly died in October ‘09.
