The Charles Brothers Trio (from left to right: Ben, John and Fred Charles) recorded two albums, and were guest artists on the Brooks Oregon Family Camp record produced in 1960.
In the 1980's all these original recordings were combined, digitally re-mastered, and produced as an audio tape album.
In 2005 another digital re-master was professionally produced, and is available in CD format. The 2007 production of the "Collectors Edition" CD has a Songbook available which includes the lyrics for all the songs on the CD, history notes on the Trio, and pictures.
This album is the only authentic professionally re-mastered version in existance containing all the original tracks of music that the Charles Brothers Trio ever professionally recorded. This 15 track CD is a collectors item.

Ben and his family lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, USA.John has four children, several grand children, and one great grand child. Ben has two grown children, and a few young grandchildren. Fred has two children and some grandchildren.
Sadly, brother Fred was killed in a tragic logging accident in 1964. And brother John passed away in 2007. They are sorely missed!
Brothers Ben and John sang together for various church and community gatherings up until around 2006 - voices still blending in such sweet harmony.

- I have very fond memories of "The Charles Brothers". My grandmother was Ella Evans. She Pastored a church in Nasqually in the 50's. In the 60's Benny came to her church in Wellpinit, WA and sang for us. It was a very special experience. I got my name Smokky from the Nasqually Indians.
