- The Folk Singer Credo from the Folk Singers Guide Book: "All folk singers are obligated to `Take It!'" -
I've always had a soft place in my heart for the Smothers Brothers. Few can play the fool as well as Tom, and Dick is the perfect partner to play against Tom's antics. Add to the mix that they could probably actually be a successful folk group if they didn't simply use their musical gifts for their unique folk-satire brand of comedy. One also should not forget the way they pushed the envelope on TV, more than once. "Sibling Revelry: The Best of The Smothers Brothers" is a collection of 18 routines taken from 9 different live albums.
There is a mix of quick hitters, like "Daniel Boone", "Hangman", and "The Military Lovers" which would make a great comment on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in today's political environment, and then some very long routines like "The Saga of John Henry", and "Cabbage". All in all there are over 75 minutes of humor and their special brand of folk-music which is unlike any other. Sometimes they put a twist on a classic, other times they create their own delightful and bizarre songs, and on rare occasion they even make it to the end of the piece. The album does have a bit of a disjointed feel, as it picks tracks from different albums which causes it to lose the flow that existed on the original albums, but the routines are still very funny.
