Same Church, Different Pews

How Music Made Brothers of J. Robert Bradley and Charles Faulkner Bryan

A narrative biography of two remarkable musicians. A uniquely American story, one that makes a statement about race relations framed by a largely forgotten cultural history. An unpublished manuscript by Laura E. Clemons.

Laura Clemons has an uncommon propensity to write in such a way as to transport the reader from the here and now to the there and then ... without realizing what just happened.

-- Rev. Chris Jackson, senior pastor, Pleasant Green Baptist Church, Nashville, Tennessee
