Unknown-ness: At the time of purchase, one of my earlier TSM buys, I had not heard of them. But I expected this to be a folky vocal group, similar to We Five, which I had already bought & listened to. Was hoping for a tinge of Herman's Hermits or other upbeat fun music, but not expecting too much of that.
Album Review: As expected, this is a collection of folky vocal group songs, that comes close to church choir quality. Some of the banjo-folk arrangement, like This Land is Your Land push them to the realm of country. And although the harmonies are strong, and the vocals are well highlighted, the overall style is a little tedious and very dated to my opinion.
