Wydana w 2001 r. płyta "Speaking In Tongues" przyniosła zespołowi
zasłużone uznanie ze strony krytyków i spotkała się z gorącym przyjęciem
fanów. Kolejna propozycja The Holmes Brothers, "Simple Truths", została
wyprodukowana przez Craiga Streeta znanego ze współpracy z Norah Jones i
kd Lang.
To nastrojowa podróż przez amerykańską muzykę korzeni: bluesa, r&b
i country. Usłyszeć tu można dynamiczne ostre utwory rock'n'rollowe i
wzruszające ballady. Oprócz swoich własnych kompozycji muzycy zagrali
również utwory z repertuaru Gillian Welch, Collective Soul, Hanka
Williamsa, Townesa Van Zandta i Boba Marleya. Pomimo wielkiej
różnorodności zamieszczonego na niej materiału, płyta posiada bardzo
spójne brzmienie i urzeka nastrojem.
