Search - Chad Mitchell :: Reunion Part 2

A Fun CD, but the Trio Sounds Old

"Whether you agreed with their politically charged lyrics or not, the Chad Mitchell Trio was absolutely the best sounding folk group of all time. Their rich harmonies could not be beat. Unfortunately, time has not been kind to the once beautiful voices of Chad Mitchell and Joe Frazier. Their voices sound weak, thin and very tired. Joe and Chad can hardly carry their parts anymore, and often times sound like they've run out of breath. Despite all of that, the trio still sounds pretty good when they sing together in harmony, and the songs are still fun to listen to and sing along with. If you don't expect to hear the Trio's once perfect harmonies and beautiful voices, but are looking for an enjoyable trip down memory lane, this is a great CD."

"
The songs are good. However, the recording tape is not and we do not hear the discussions going on between members of the group, something vital

for the listener.



It is good to hear the private thoughts of John Denver in his segment."

Waiting for Part 3

"Like reviewer B. Stern, I've listened to the CMT for decades. Unlike him, I think they still sound great. The harmonies and liberal satire are still there. "Barry's Boys" is updated to "Ronnie's Boys". Unlike their first reunion album, this one contains excellent new material in the "Nicaragua Song" and "Let Us Begin". The price of doing topical material, however, is that it gets dated rather quickly. Thus, this album is best for those of us who remember our recent history. As the only source of post-60's CMT material, this is a must for fans."
