Review by Turgay Taşkın

The Callahan Brothers' album, "In Memory Of The Callahan Brothers," is a delightful collection of old-time country and bluegrass tunes that showcase the duo's exceptional musicianship and vocal harmonies. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers of classic songs, all performed with the brothers' signature style and charm.

Listeners will appreciate the brothers' skillful guitar and mandolin playing, as well as their warm, unpretentious vocals. The album's standout tracks include the rollicking "My Carolina Sunshine Girl," the mournful "Lonesome Road Blues," and the upbeat "Maple on the Hill." The brothers' original songs, such as "The Callahan Brothers' Breakdown" and "I'm Lonesome Without You," are also noteworthy for their catchy melodies and clever lyrics.

About The Callahan Brothers

Walter Callahan was born in 1910, and Homer in 1912 in Laurel, North Carolina. Their father Bert, Laurel's grocer and postmaster, was also an organist and voice teacher. Their mother Martha Jane sang and played the organ. Walter was primarily a guitarist, while Homer played the banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, ukulele, tenor banjo, harmonica, and bass. Singing together the brothers often yodeled, a talent that would become one of their signature sounds. They began playing publicly in the early 1920s, becoming well known area musicians. In 1934 they traveled to New York and made their first records, of which "She's My Curly Headed Baby" became the most famous. In the same year they were hired to play regularly for WWNC in Asheville, for four dollars a week. Sometimes they performed with their sister Alma, and called themselves the Callahan Family. In 1935, Homer and Walter moved to Louisville to play on the radio there, the first in a succession of cities they would call home during their radio and recording career. When they moved to Dallas around 1940, they began to perform as Bill and Joe Callahan, the names by which they are best remembered today. The Callahan Brothers remained active in the music industry for some decades, appearing in movies in the 1940s, and on TV shows in the 50s. For one year in the 50s, "Bill" (Homer) acted as manager for an up-and-coming Texas singer, Lefty Frizzell.
