Tonight, in person
Beskrivning:The Limeliters var en amerikansk folkmusiktrio (inspirerade av Kingston Trio), som under några år i början av 1960-talet hade stora framgångar, både som scen-artister och på skivmarknaden. Den här skivan är en live-upptagning från klubben Ash Grove i Hollywood och var deras debutalbum för RCA. Det här är en senare återutgivning.
"The Limeliters' debut album for RCA Victor was not only one of their finest, but was also a smash hit on the Billboard album charts, reaching the number five position and staying on for over a year....the album showed the tremendous poise and versatility the group only hinted at on their first album for Elektra, which was just getting on the market at the time. From their rousing traditional concert opener, "There's a Meetin' Here Tonight," to the Bahamian-adapted singalong "Hey Li Lee Li Lee," this album is a winner all the way and one of the shining examples of the best of the urban folk revival of the early '60s. Each Limeliter was given a chance to shine: Glenn Yarbrough's shimmering tenor and whistling on "The Far Side of the Hill," Alex Hassilev's linguistic polish on "The Monks of St. Bernard," and Gottlieb's lascivious humor and hamminess on the Flanders & Swann tale of debauchery after dark, "Madeira, M'Dear." When the group sings the Russian song of farewell "Proshchai," it makes one wish the record wouldn't end." (Cary Ginell, allmusic.com)
