Venice Born and Raised (Vanguard 79498 (1997) )

Two sets of brothers, four voices in harmony as only relations can.  16 acoustic songs in that Southern California based tradition of groups like the Eagles, Venice is a band that could only have come from Los Angeles.  Kipp, Mark, Pat and Michael Lennon represent what is best about their tradition: gorgeous harmonies and full-bodied, acoustic-based songs, mostly dealing with love and relationships, that have real meaning.  Absolutely stunning.  It's music that's a joy to listen to.
