Awesome Band and Singer November 16, 2007
I'm compelled to write a review because I realized that since this came out I've had it on a casette and it has never been out rotation in my car stereo. This is a real band with a beautiful style.

I like all kinds of music. I chased the Grateful Dead around in high school and college, caught many Allman Bros shows, have jammed out with "newer" jam bands like Phish and Widespread Panic, seen one of the best concerts I've been to at a Beastie Boys concert, grooved at good reggae concerts like Toots and the Maytals, and enjoyed some great live bluegrass shows with bands like Seldom Scene. My point, I love all genres of music and this album is one of my all-time favorites. It is one of those albums that, if I could only take 10 CDs with me to live on a deserted island - I would take Brother Sister. Song for song, it is one of my favorite albums.
This album does a great job of mixing up the sound so that you get variations from a great studio jam band - I love their horns and the vocals are great. This is one of the albums that you play in your car, loud, and just smile and enjoy!
 British urbana of the highest order October 23, 2006
BNH really broke loose with this one, an intoxicating mix of jazz ("Snake Hips"), funk ("Fake"), and soul ("Spend Some Time").
A Flawless CD, Couldn't Make it Better if they Tried. June 10, 2006
If I were trapped on a desert island with a cd player and I could choose one CD, this would be it. Brother Sister is flawless, plain and simple.

Wow, only 11 reviews for one of the better releases of the early 90's? Well, I just had to add my 2 cents worth of love for this disc. I fell in love with the single, DREAM ON DREAMER, which got heavy play on both the radio & video channels I watched back in the day.
The funny thing about a group like BNH which produces high quality music and is a somewhat self-contained band is that their music definitely stands the test of time. For those who get it in 2006 or after, they'll probably be very surprised to note that this disc was released in 1994! The group specializes in r&b funk and features one of the unique voices in r&b, N'Dea Davenport - while also producing terrific instrumental songs.
To this day, my favorite tracks are: DREAM ON DREAMER, DAYBREAK, SPEND SOME TIME, BROTHER SISTER, TEN TON TAKE, FOREVER & SNAKE HIPS.
If you don't have this disc in your collection and you like funkdified neo-soul, then you will love this disc!
