After releasing more than 50 albums over the past 40-plus years, the Bellamy Brothers’ first-ever, covers-only album, Covers From The Brothers, is out now. The project transcends genres, including everything from Bob Dylan and Stevie Wonder to songs well known from their live sets, like “Games People Play”.
Covers From The Brothers also includes the lead single from Billy Swan, “I Can Help” featuring Dennis Quaid. The Brothers also created a video during their recording session with Quaid, filmed by Derrek Kupish of dkupish productions.
The Bellamy Brothers were inspired to record an entire album of covers after a label in Switzerland asked them to cut some covers for a duets project. Produced by the Bellamy Brothers and Randy Hiebert, the 12-song collection also includes collaboration with Paul Franklin from Vince Gill’s band and Jenee Fleenor from Blake Shelton’s band.
When the pandemic hit, the Bellamy Brothers were on Blake Shelton’s Friends And Heroes Tour. They returned to their Florida homestead where their reality series, “Honky Tonk Ranch,” is filmed and have stayed busy through their partnership with the Florida-based medical marijuana company Trulieve on their “Old Hippie Stash” flower product line.
The Bellamys recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of that partnership and are back on the road performing across the country as well as gearing up for their 2022 European tour.
