Lost and THANK HEAVENS Found I am a lover of folk music and have been for 50 (!) years. I am so thrilled to have found this group. They have such beautiful, tight harmony and strong individual voices. The instrumental work is prodigious…especially the banjo.

Extraordinary recording, tight driving American folk at its populist roots In the time of legends, Spring, 1963, four young fraternity brothers calling themselves the Cumberland Trio (math majors they ain’t)brought down the house at a University of Tennessee campus band showcase with their tight-driving all American blend of bluegrass, gospel, and seeds-of-rock, and landed a contract with RCA, where their 1964 Nashville recordings were produced by the legendary Chet Atkins.

If you remember that time or want to experience it, this Cumberland Trio album is a “must have”. Especially noteworthy are Tom Kilpatrick’s soaring tenor voice and Jim Shuptrine’s sharp, staccato banjo…

A Terrific “Find” — Music Epitomizing the Great Folk Revival of the 1960s  If you want to capture the spirit of the 1960s Folk Revival, you should start with this wonderful CD. Sure, groups like the Kingston Trio and Peter-Paul-&-Mary were better known thanks to their huge chart success, but the fact is that the vast majority of those caught up in the magic of that era were ordinary folk: enthusiastic college kids, aspiring artists, terrific talents who got together and performed for the shee…

Dreaming of college folk If you like the college folk of the sixties, this is a great album. Like the Brothers Four or Kingston Trio, but different. Nice balance between mellow and brightness. Relax and remember those lovely years at university. Review from cdbaby

Love the music. Lots of memories. I wish I could hear more music like this everyday. Review from cdbaby

Toe-tapping music This is a wonderful collection of timeless music. I can’t get “Old Dogs” out of my mind. The blend of the voices is wonderful. These CDs stay on the top of my stack! Review from cdbaby
