Free Music Review: fine two CD set by The Mamas & The Papas
Hit: 5 Stars

The Mamas & The Papas certainly sounded much, much better than just any old 1960s group. They sang with their hearts and souls and their roots in folk rock produced a rock and roll sound that was smooth and easy on the ears while sending out a message. This two CD set gives us most, if not all, of the very best of The Mamas & The Papas; and true fans will want this in their collections.

The first CD has plenty of classic hits. "Monday, Monday" is a stream of consciousness type ballad that works very well; and the group harmonizes and uses the percussion really nicely. "Straight Shooter" features the band at their very best; and I really like this song. "California Dreamin'" inspired so many young people to flock to California to find peace, harmony, a better life and love. "California Dreamin'" has a sound to it that is absolutely majestic; this is a masterpiece by The Mamas & The Papas.

"The `In' Crowd" continues the hits with a good beat and awesome guitar and percussion; and "Dancing Bear" is a story about a chimney sweep that John sings so sweetly. "Dancing Bear" gets even more strength from subtle key and tempo changes. "Words Of Love" features Mama Cass singing while the group backs her up with vocals and instruments. "Dancing In The Street" is a wonderful number that The Mamas & The Papas deliver flawlessly; this number really makes you want to jump up and dance wherever you are!

The second CD continues the hits. "Dedicated To The One I Love" offers Michelle the chance to do some solo singing and the group joins in at just the right times to bolster the number. "Dedicated To The One I Love" has an awesome musical arrangement, too. "Creeque Alley," is, of course, a ballad that tells the story of how they formed a group and the people they knew or with whom they worked before they became The Mamas & The Papas. Great beat on "Creeque Alley," too!

"Twist And Shout" gets quite a slow tempo as The Mamas & The Papas put their own stamp on this tune; and listen for Cass Elliott to deliver "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" with great sensitivity. Cass could sure belt them out; but she knew to sing this one with just the right amount of subdued passion for a romantic effect.

"Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon)" features more great harmonizing and instrument playing; and the second CD ends with "Step Out." "Step Out" has a great sound to it; I predict that you will like this song very much.

The liner notes and the artwork are great!

The Mamas & The Papas remain a fixture in the worlds of`60s American folk rock and mainstream rock music. Their sound was unique and singularly beautiful. I highly recommend this two CD set but I also tip my hat to the CD set entitled All The Leaves Are Brown: The Golden Era Collection.

Thank you, guys! We will never forget you!
