Brown, Sturgis & Brown’s HOMAGE: The Music of Walter Hawkins is a heartfelt love letter to one of gospel’s most cherished voices. The trio leans into their signature harmonies to gently reimagine Hawkins’ classics, beginning with the soulful medley “Guide My Way / Keep On Fighting,” released in honor of longtime Hawkins guitarist Jonathan DeBosé Jr. The project feels personal and beautifully lived‑in, especially with the appearance of Lady Tramaine Hawkins, whose timeless voice instantly evokes the Love Alive era. Percussionist Juan Escovedo adds vibrant rhythmic color, giving the arrangements a warm, contemporary pulse. The closing original, “Carry On,” written by Nona Brown, ties the album together with grace—an uplifting reminder of Hawkins’ enduring spirit and the trio’s devotion to preserving it.
