CD ReviewsQuintessential CMT Nicole Harpe | 11/20/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "This double album CD has so much on it. I own almost all the Chad Mitchell Trio stuff and there are songs on here I never heard before - at least not for the last 35/40 years. It's easy to see why back in the 60s most radio stations wouldn't play their music. It was considered extremely controversial at the time. There is a lot of politics and social commentary in their work, but there is also a lot of fun and some really good singing. Right near the top of the CD each of the trio takes a solo turn and the songs they chose are perfect. Chad Mitchell sings with great humor about "Mandy" - a local businesswoman who won't give it away for free. Joe Frazier takes on an odd 1930's cabaret sounding tune called "Moon of Alabama". It's a very odd piece, but his voice is so beautiful when it soars out. Then Mike Kobluk takes on a little blues piece that is orchestrated very sparsely and his feel for blues comes through with great compassion.Sometimes people forget the musicality of the CMT. They had a special sound that was copied by groups that ended up having bigger names. The CMT was the first group to record "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (however that is NOT on this CD). You can hear "You Were On My Mind" here though. This was a trio with social conscience, talent, commitment to quality, and who took risks that ended up keeping them off the radio. If you are a fan of the genre, then this is a must have for you." Pure joy Sheila Bloom | Alexandria, VA United States | 07/21/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I remember the CMT from the sixties and saw them several times. They were great musicians and topical singers; they also sang blues, traditional ballads, social ballads and just about everything. What harmony and Mitchell's voice was outstanding. Their little poems by Yip Harburg are gems and just as relevant today. "No matter how high or great the throne; what sits on it is the same as your own." Some of the material may be dated but on the whole this is a group to cherish and discover (or rediscover). " What memories! Larry D. Pursell | The Bluegrass State | 01/17/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Man the memories that this CD brings back! I was in college and. . . . well it was a better world then!"
