Product Description

Amazon.ca

On connaissait Big Sugar pour son rock musclé et ses rythmes reggae. On saura désormais que la formation torontoise est capable de chanter dans la langue de Molière. Après avoir traduit en français quelques chansons de leur précédent album, Heated, le chanteur et guitariste Gordie Johnson a poussé l’aventure un peu plus loin en enregistrant le nouvel album du Gros Sucre simultanément dans les deux langues officielles du Canada.

Collaborant pour l’occasion avec Sébastien Plante et Pascal Dufour, du groupe québécois Les Respectables, Johnson et sa bande présentent, avec Brothers & Sisters, êtes-vous ready ?, 12 nouvelles pièces dont neuf en français. Que les fans se rassurent, le défi est brillamment relevé : on y retrouve la même énergie que sur le précédent album, une section rythmique en béton, des murs de guitares grinçantes, des rythmes chauds et un Gordie Johnson drôlement à l’aise en français ! --Nicolas Houle

Album Description

Full title, Brothers & Sisters Are You Ready? 2001 album for the eclectic Toronto blues-rock outfit marks the first time an English speaking band in Canada has released an album in French & English versions simultaneously. 13 tracks including, 'Red Rover', 'Nicotina (She's All That)' & 'O Canada'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Can't We Get Music Like This in The States?, July 14 2002
By 
Vincent Priceless (Glen Cove, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brothers And Sisters Are You (Audio CD)
Wow - this record rocks! After a buddy of mine in BC turned me onto a few tunes by this fine Canadian band, I decided to pick up their latest release...man, I haven't heard music this fresh and funky for a looooong time! Big Sugar is almost an anachronism by today's standards....loud (I have first-hand info they're known as the loudest band in Canada), fuzzy, guitar-driven tunes, played with a reverb-soaked, bluesy feel, bottom-heavy bass, tight drumming, but still arranged & played with lots of "space", and soulful, well-crafted songs, too...it's a total trip back to the early 70's..ya gotta love it! Guitarist Gordie Johnson kinda reminds me of a later-day Mick Ronson with a healthy shot of Stevie Ray soul....if you dig rock & roll served up just right, tune into this band...and if you live in the USA, scratch your head and wonder why our FM radio isn't all over these guys. To be played at maximun volume (and thanks, Grumpy)!

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Sugar = Big Time Underrated, Mar 28 2002
This review is from: Brothers And Sisters Are You (Audio CD)
Because Gordie Johnson is a world class guitarist and producer and they have a bunch (not all) of sweet songs.

All Music Guide says:

"Brothers and Sisters, Are You Ready? is loaded with a batch of dependable high-octane rock crunchers (particularly album opener "Red Rover," lead single "Nicotina," and "All Hell for a Basement"

As a Canadian I've heard of Big Sugar since they are popular here but have never bought an album. I noticed their musicianship before but after hearing "Red Rover" and especially "All Hell for a Basement" I realised that their good stuff can easily rival the best stuff on American/European radio today.

As a student of music I must recommend this album if only for the production value, "All Hell for a Basement," and Gordie Johnson's vocals and guitar.

"So Not Over" is pretty cool too (notice the background vocals in the hook. And if you're a singer, this guy's phrasing (vocal and guitar) is awesome.

This review is from: Brothers And Sisters Are You (Audio CD)
Not your usual Canadian fare. Tremendous vocals, interesting rhythms, music that just sounds good, even when diverse and discordant. You'll find you've heard some of the songs on the radio.
