Brother is the debut album by the American pop-rock duo Lon & Derrek Van Eaton. It was released on the Beatles' Apple record label in September 1972 in the United States and February 1973 in Britain. It includes the single "Sweet Music", produced by George Harrison, and was otherwise produced by Klaus Voormann, a friend and longtime associate of the Beatles. On release, the album received favorable reviews from music critics but failed to achieve commercial success. Rolling Stone critic Stephen Holden hailed it as a "staggeringly impressive first album".
Brother was the Van Eatons' only album for Apple, after which the duo briefly recorded for A&M Records. The album was reissued on CD in 2012 with nine bonus tracks, including outtakes from the sessions and an alternate mix of "Sweet Music".
