(We're in a family way)

 

Tonight's show will go beyond the too-familiar family groups such as the Jackson Five and Andrews / Boswell / Lemon / etc Sisters and try all the "brother," "sister" "family" and "twin" groups that don't get the headlines. Yeah, groups like:

Davis Sisters

Casey Sisters

Bates Sisters

Browning Sisters

Soul Sisters

Tilton Sisters

Stith Sisters

Stolz Brothers

Jackson Brothers (no those guys - they're a couple megaHertz to the right of your dial) 

Bogard Brothers

Polk Brothers

Tibbs Brothers

Wilder Brothers

Crawford Brothers

5 Chavis Brothers

King Brothers

Teilman Brothers...

then we'll get into the "Twins" and "Family" bands...

The family groups that you've never heard of but with that Saturday night sound - collector's music without the burden of the music's provenance.

 

And of course plenty of videos in the playlist.  Like this one featuring hillbillies dancing:
