As the album title informs you, Dailey & Vincent are not brothers, but they 
have that country brother harmony thing down pat. Jamie Dailey and Darrin 
Vincent both possess high, clear tenor voices, and the timbre of their 
harmonies blends perfectly, becoming something greater than the sum of its 
parts. Their first eponymous album stayed at the top of the bluegrass charts 
for almost a year, and Brothers from Different Mothers is even stronger, with 
their band's blazing instrumental backup providing a strong counterpoint to 
their soul-stirring vocals. Dailey & Vincent are traditionalists, but they're not 
afraid of trying new things. "On the Other Side" features a classical string 
quartet, something new for bluegrass, to give emotional depth to Jimmy 
Fortune's song about the death of a parent. The strings give the song a 
slight folk-pop feel, but the vocals are pure country/bluegrass, with lead 
harmonies guaranteed to bring a tear. The Statler Brothers seem like an 
unlikely influence on a bluegrass band, but the duo covers "Years Ago," an 
arch country tune about a guy sitting in the back of a church while his 
sweetheart marries another man. Joe Dean, Jr. adds to the Statler feel with 
his bass vocals on the harmonies. Dailey's jazzy chiming lead guitar enhances 
the tune's jaunty air. "There Is You" is another Statler tune highlighted by the 
fiddling of Adam Haynes and Dailey & Vincent's syncopated call-and-response 
vocals. The Statlers' Harold Reid adds his bass vocal to "Head Hung Down," 
the string buster that kicks off the album. Haynes rips it up on fiddle and 
Reid's bass vocal give just the right comedic touch to the song's finale. It's 
the first time he's ever sung on a non-Statler project, a measure of the 
respect the legends have for Dailey & Vincent. Other standouts include an 
achingly poignant cover of Roger Miller's "You Oughta Be Here with Me" and 
the gospel tunes "When I've Traveled My Last Mile," "When I Reach That 
Home Up There," and the jubilant "Oh Ye Must Be Born Again."
