Title: The Isley Brothers – Brother, Brother, Brother
Year/Genre/City: 1972, Funk / Soul 
Matrix #: TNS 3009
Condition: VG

Cultural Facts:

1. Era Shift This album lands right after the Isleys reinvented themselves as a self-contained band—moving from early vocal-group soul into a tougher, guitar-forward funk sound that helped define ’70s R&B.

2. Crossover Muscle Their mix of church-rooted harmonies, rock guitar, and street-level funk is a big reason the Isleys became a rare act that worked across Black radio, rock audiences, and later hip-hop sampling culture.

3. Live Energy The Isleys’ reputation in this period was built as much on performance as studio polish—tight grooves, big dynamics, and that “band onstage” feeling that made their early-’70s records hit hard even on home stereos.
