The magic of Bob Hemphill and the Commanders’ “Everybody Will Be Happy” is its sheer commitment to simplicity and good cheer. The peaceful stillness of the record is reflected in its packaging: an overtly non-descript cover, invoking a calm blue sky and a soaring white dove.Now with his own specialized billing alongside his group of Commanders, Bob leads his troupe of hopeful Commanders through a program of decidedly minimal hymns. And once again, Bob’s brother Neal Hemphill returns at the helm as producer and engineer. As the two Hemphill brothers complete the album in audible conversation with one another, the drawn-back direction of the album yet allows for deliberate contrast between tracks like the swinging country of “I’ll Soon Be Gone” and the incessantly moody “Ten Thousand Years.”
