A Must-Have for Modern Smothers Fans

"The Smothers Brothers were most popular during the 1960s, but their brand of comedy is timeless. Born out of mischieviousness, their songs can be enjoyed by young and old alike. They don't swear or make jokes about sex and drugs. They're just having fun, and Tommy's dumb, child-like character is a perfect platform for jokes.
The great thing about these guys, aside from the fact that they're hilarious and have great timing, is that they're good singers. Their voices blend extremely well and the serious moments can be quite moving.
This CD is great for new fans to the brothers who don't have access to a record player. Now, you don't have to buy the records to hear their performances.
If you've never heard the Smothers Brothers before, this is a great place to start. Songs like "Chocolate" and "Cabbage" are classics, and if you're a fan, get the DVDs and compare the differences between the performances."
