They're Holding Up the Ladder (Rebel REB-CD 7511) is a gospel recording from the Easter Brothers — Edd Easter, James Easter, and Russell Easter Jr. — the Virginia family vocal trio who have recorded sacred music continuously since the 1960s. The Easter Brothers' sound is built on close three-part harmony and acoustic string instruments in the Appalachian gospel tradition: no drums, no electric instruments, and a vocal directness shaped by the church music of the Piedmont Virginia hills where the family was raised. Rebel Records maintained a parallel gospel catalog alongside its bluegrass series — distinguished by the REB-CD 7000-series catalog numbers — that provided a natural home for the Brothers' unadorned sacred repertoire. This album is characteristic of their long-running body of work: a family ensemble in unwavering service of the hymns and gospel songs they have carried through generations.
