"Gaining Momentum" Sep 24, 2009 By this time the brothers 3 were building on a force of nature that would soon take off. This album helped them take that next step. Including younger brothers Marvin and Ernie and brother-in-law Chris Jasper in the process was a very smart move, and would prove to pay off on 3+3. With that being said, this is what is called the perfect set up album for things to come.

Old School Luv Aug 04, 2005 Every old school collector needs to have this one in their collection. Not to collect dust but to share with the world.

The seeds of 3+3 Jan 24, 2005 BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER is an album in which the Isleys soon-to-be platinum 3+3 formula really gels. Ernie, Marvin & Chris made appearances on previous T-Neck albums, but their talents were used to recycle way too many "It's Your Thing" riffs. This album blends the right amount of covers (the title track, "Sweet Season") and great original material ("Work To Do", "Layaway"). The 10 1/2 minute bluesy take on Carole King's "It's Too Late" is lively due to Ronald's soaring vocals and Ernie's wailing guitar. And the beautiful closer "Love Put Me On The Corner" is perhaps the first great original Isley ballad, and a huge improvement over the insipid ballads on the GET INTO SOMETHING album. BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER gave the Isley Brothers the sound that was used in full effect on their breakthrough album 3+3.

Gotta love it! Sep 28, 2004 This album was a change of pace from all of the other soul albums of that day (heavier emphasis on lead guitar, covers of songs made famous by pop and country artists). It is awesome, especially their remake of "It's Too Late." A must for any true Isleys fan!

soul at its best.... Dec 29, 2003 All of the Isleys early work without the younger Isleys is just as good with them. But these early workouts are more raw-stripped down and pop-oriented. Ron Isley has a way of making country, and rock remakes sound like they were never before recorded. Not too many black artists can do that. To get a taste of the "Real Isleys" before the "Mr. Biggs" persona, get this with "Get into something", and "Givin' it back"
