Super Album.......2002-11-20

At 53, I've been a folkie all my life. I still have the program from the first Chad Mitchell Trio concert I saw in Pittsburgh in 1966.
These guys still have it all together. A little too heavy on the serious political stuff, but that is a minor blemish. Wish they would also have included Roger (Jim) McGuinn (original string plucker with Paul Prestipino), Mike ("Bluer than Blue")Johnson (who replaced Joe Frazier) and David Boise (who replaced Mike Kobluk). That would really have been a "Mighty Day."
I also miss John Denver...he was a friend. I guess all we can say now is "Thank God I'm an Ocean buoy."

Mighty Day The Chad Mitchell Trio Reunion.......2001-08-24

As artists they are among the best in Folk Music. (I fondly remember them back in the 60's when I first heard them and subsequently purchased all of their record albums...you know...those large plastic disks with groves on them and spun at a remarkably high speed of 33-1/3 RPM.....OH--- they used to have groves on them!) Anyway--while I didn't always agree with their political views (I think we can agree to disagree) I nevertheless loved their singing style and enjoyed their "sing along" type of songs. Having John Denver (whom I greatly miss) join them for the last two songs is definetly a treat. The Song--"The great Historical Bum" is a masterpiece. The ballad of the Greenland Whalers" is great and I still find myself humming or whistling it....a real "mind sticker" I highly recommend this CD.

Still Mighty.......2000-07-24

I grew up listening to my parents' Chad Mitchell Trio albums in the 60's. That collection was something my siblings and I argued over when mom no wanted longer it. Because I didn't get custody, I was pleased to find this album a few years ago. The Trio still sounds as good as ever, with harmonies that are matched by few groups today. The album features the original trio, joined by John Denver (who had replaced Chad Mitchell in the later 1960s) for the last two songs. All are songs they recorded decades ago and most still hold up surprising well. The satire of "An African Song" will, unfortunately, not be lost on today's udience. "Which Hat Shall I Wear" probably holds up the least well. The talent still remains in this group, making me wish they'd record some new material. I'd definely still keep buying them.
