Free Music Notes for Brothers Four Songbook/The Big Folk Hits
Free Music Review: Big Folk Hits by the Brothers Four
Hit: 5 Stars
I listened to this on LP as I was growing up. I longed listen to it again after I moved away from home. It is a great find for those who love vintage folk music. Free Music Review: poorly remastered for cd - original album much much better.
Hit: 1 Stars
I really like Brothers Four. I have been listening to these in their original LP version for the last year several times per day to put my infant son to sleep. The LP was wearing out so I purchased the CD. I was very disappointed. The speed was slow. On some songs the harmony was made louder than the melody. Who ever did this did not listen to the original album. I can compensate somewhat by boosting the bass while decreasing the treble. But overall I am not happy with this CD version. I highly recommend getting these in their original album form.Free Music Review: Replacement for LP
Hit: 4 Stars
I had enjoyed the Songbook for years on LP and then decided to buy a stereo that does not have a turntable, so I bought this. The sound transfer is good. The folk songs were a nice bonus. So often when LP albums are transferred to CD, only that album is included, making for a really short CD. A good choice for Brothers Four fans.Free Music Review: Most Listened CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not sure where the previous preview states that "Big Folk Hits" are not the original Brothers Four but having owned the original record album since I was 5 (and still di) I assure you that they are the original 4 guys....although the "Tokyo Tapes" are not( 2 are). Big Folk Hits has been listened more by me than even the Beatles. As owner of 1000's albums, cassettes, and CD's this is my #1 of them all. and the arrangements of songs, though on some other albums, are my favorite!Free Music Review: One of the best Twofers of The Brothers Four
Hit: 5 Stars
As a child, I remember Columbia records putting out a patrioc album of artits on that label. "Rock Island Line" and "The Driller's Song" were both included. They are both contained here, after many years of searching for them.It's a bit discouraging why a boxed set has not been released from this tremendous group, which skyrocked to fame with "Greenfields" and "The Green Leaves of Summer." I have since purchased every lp they've put out, and put them on Compact Disc myself. Perhaps one day this will be corrected, but this twofer, combined with the Big Folk Hits is a must have for ANY fan of the great Brothers Four. Don't miss it!!
Perhaps one day we will have "Rally Round", "More Big Folk Hits", "Roamin'", "Let's Get Together", "A New World's Record" and "The Honey Wind Blows" out on CD as well. There is also a Japan only release, in '73 of the Brothers Four in concert. These contain tremendous performances as well.
Given the way CDs go out of print so fast, I'd grab this one. I've given many as gifts to those who have never heard them, and all respond with loving comments, and even order more for themselves. The recordings on these albums will never be topped!!
