Music reviews of Sibling Revelry: The Best of the Smothers Brothers

Music Review: A Brother's Duo Shine True-o!
Rating: 5 Stars

Their comedy pieces are a reminiences of what the 60's are about. During that time The Smothers Brothers were entertaining fans while the 60's hurried by Woodstock, Mary Quant mini skirts, the Vietnam War, beanbag chairs, and somebody having a political, pop party time. As a result of the hippy generation, this was a time for folk music and all types of music, and it was a good time for the Brothers to smell the fragrance of success. And the biggest thing is to make everyone laugh in a time when America was speeding to an end of an era that pretty much forgotten what was happening in the first place.

If you you're old enough to remember these guys and have collected all their albums, "The Songs and Comedy of The Smothers Brothers-At The Purple Onion", "The Two Sides of The Smothers Brothers", "Think Ethnic", "Curb Your Tongue, Knave", "It Must Have Been Something I Said", "Tour De Farce: American History And Other Unrelated Subjects", "Mom Liked You Best!", "Golden Hits of The Smothers Brothers, Vol. 2", and "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour"-you'll absolutely love this collection of all their best and finest numbers compiled on one CD. Who can remember the marching song, "Pretoria"? Pat Paulsen's "Chocolate" song? The old folk songs "The Saga of John Henry", "Daniel Boone", "Cabbage" "Michael, Row The Boat Ashore" done Mangled a lá Tommy Smothers, the wild, quirky "I Talk To The Trees" "Jenny Brown" and "Mediocre Fred", and the classic dialogue "Gnus", "Mom Liked You Best", and "You Can Call Me Stupid". They're all right here!

The Brothers whimsical chemistry had the ability to be well equipped with supply of of puns and zany illogical malapropisms and sibling rivalry mixed with zestful melodies in classic folk songs. And there's always the wacky, antics of Tommy Smothers and the always straight, 'Mom Liked You Best' brother Dick makes this a one-of-a-kind act. Even with the inevitable cancellation of their TV show by CBS and through the years, their style is part of culture today and then in a time of innocence and the axiom of controversial themes of the 60's to the dawning 70's. Their creative work still remain as one of the best musical comedy duo of this century. Kudos! So, give it a try and Crank It Up!
