Editorial Review:
\N
Tom and Dick Smothers hit show-biz pay dirt by exploring the lighter side of brotherly competition in their musical comedy act. Combining substantial folk-singing skills with barbed comic repartee, the Smothers Brothers endeared themselves to "hip" crowds and mainstream audiences alike. That feat was a considerable accomplishment in the '60s, when the recordings that comprise this generous sampler were made. The tracks include such memorable numbers as "Pretoria," "Tom Dooley," "The Saga of John Henry," "Cabbage," "I Talk to the Trees," and, of course, "Mom Always Liked You Best." --Scott Schinder

I always thought the Smothers Brothers were one of the more underrated acts ever. When will the DVDs of the Smothers Brothers come out???

Rating:  - Great act- bad sound
I was so excited to get this CD because The Smothers Brothers really are a genius act but the sound quality of the CD was not great, in some of the songs it sounds like only one of the brothers was miked so you can hear one but barely the other. I've tried re-adjusting the quality and it helped a bit but not enough to really get the best benefit.
Rating: - Pumas in Cravasses!
More funny than I had remembered (and I remembered really loving them!) This was a wonderful way to listen again to the joys of Tom and Dick, and better yet, to introduce my kids. They are still funny, and my rather cynical teenagers loved listening in the car with me.
Rating:  - Good Old Fashioned Humor
This CD takes me back to watching the Smothers Brothers on TV years ago. If you miss folk singers, comedy without four-letter words and TV variety shows, then you will enjoy this as much as I did!
