The songwriting team of Frank and Chris Sprague have been compared to Lennon and McCartney by reviewers in Playboy, Rolling Stone, Washington Post, and many others. Their songs can range from Beatles style Merseybeat to Everly Brothers style Rockabilly, a
Editorial review
The Sprague Brothers play rockabilly and Merseybeat-influenced roots rock with such a sure touch that at their best, it's hard to tell their stuff from actual vintage material, which is less a product of worrying every sonic detail into the ground than capturing the heart and soul of the music on tape. After a spell on Hightone, the Sprague Brothers are once again recording for their own Wichita Falls label, and 2006's The Song shows these proud sons of the Lone Star State are still finding plenty of inspiration in their hometown's musical past. Guitarist and songwriter Frank Lee Sprague is the star of this show, picking up a storm and writing tunes that mine classic themes with a fresh feel and honest enthusiasm, while his brother Christopher Sprague lays down the big beat without making a fuss and lends some really splendid harmonies to this set. One can hear clear echoes of Buddy Holly ("Right Time 4 Love", the Searchers ("Money Makes The Man" and the Everly Brothers ("There's Always A Price To Pay") in these songs among others, but the craft and the love of the music is strong enough that the Sprague Brothers sound like kindred spirits of these masters rather than just another band trying to walk in their footsteps. The Song tends to sound like a collection of singles rather than a real-deal album -- the diversity of textures sometimes prevents this from cohering as well as one might wish -- but those phantom singles are records well worth hearing, and anyone with a passion for old school rock ?n' roll will get a big smile from this disc. ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Just in time for the holidays and New Year, the always sensational Sprague Brothers are back with a sparkling new album, a remarkable celebration of song craft aptly titled, The Song. Long-time fans and newcomers alike will rejoice to discover that Frank and Chris Sprague have combed their archives for previously unheard versions of some of their choicest co-written songs, while also including new recordings of their classic songs as well as three up to the minute delicacies.
As ever, on The Song, these Wichita Falls, Texas, natives serve up a festive musical stew of pure rock ‘n’ roll, guiding listeners on a magical ride from rockabilly and surf through the British Invasion and their beloved West Texas rock ‘n’ roll a la Buddy Holly and Bobby Fuller.
The Song opens with two of their earliest co-written songs, “Right or Wrong,” and “She’s Gonna Leave,” a pair imbued with the catchiest of melodies, plaintive, danceable, and entirely memorable.
