Chimesfreedom tries to provide helpful links in posts, but sometimes after some time passes, we are notified that a link to an article or website disappears. When we get the notification, we see if there is a way to fix the link or find another article. About two weeks ago, we were notified that a link to The Cash Brothers website (www.cashbrothers.com) was no longer up. While one great thing about the Internet is that it is ever-changing, the nostalgic heart inside of me misses some of the changes, such as this one.
A previous post about book stores going out of business discussed the wonderful music created by the Cash Brothers, which consists of Andrew and Peter Cash. The two brothers, often categorized as roots rock, have voices that blend in harmony in a great pop sound reminiscent of other brother groups like the Beach Boys and the Everly Brothers.
Although at the time of the Chimesfreedom post it appeared that the two brothers were recording separately and had been doing some work with the Skydiggers, there was still the website for The Cash Brothers. So it was sad to see in the last few weeks that the band website is gone.
I hope it is a temporary problem, but maybe it has something to do with Canadians electing Andrew Cash to Parliament in May. I for one will not rest until Canadians rise up and demand that their representative reunite with his brother for more music. [Update 2017: Andrew Cash served in Parliament from 2011 to 2015, and then he went on to co-found a really cool organization, the Urban Worker Project.]
For now, we will have to settle for one of the few videos of their music on the web. Here are The Cash Brothers singing “Shadow of Doubt” from their 2003 album A Brand New Night.
