Genesis

On the album, six of the siblings have participated. Among the guest musicians there is also another brother, Paul Kelly, who left the band in 1984.

The two CDs (Home and Run) reflect each resist another musical direction. On the CD Home consistently acoustic songs are heard. Songs such as walking or Strange World are influenced by jazz. The second CD, Run, is in contrast to the first. Electric guitars and drums are heard. In addition to " feel-good songs " as Streets of Love or Everybody Is Beautiful, even serious topics are covered: Blood is about child soldiers. China Keitetsi, former child soldier in Uganda itself has inspired the family to this song and speaks in the intro of their experiences. The first single Flip a Coin is about the suicide of a good friend of the family.
