CD Reviews

The best of 1960s pop harmony

Richard Roland | New York, NY USA | 07/29/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I grew up with this album on LP (it was my parents') and to this day I am still haunted by the music, the arrangements and lyrics on it. Chris Dedrick is a wonderful composer, not to mention an incredible vocal arranger, and with his siblings has presented a debut album that is brimming with artistry and an evident pure love of what vocal harmonies can do. As a founder and vocal arranger of my own vocal group, I have turned to my "Kites Are Fun" album for inspiration. Even their covers of well-known tunes (my favorite being "59th Street Bridge Song") are re-presented in a whole new fresh light. I'm glad to know that they have recently reunited, recorded and released a new CD (which sounds great). Along with "The Singers Unlimited" and very early "The Manhattan Transfer", "The Free Design" must go in the vocal group hall of fame."

No jewel case!

"For the price I would have expected the CD to come with a jewel case at the very least!"
