5 out of 5 stars half remembered verses.......2007-04-14

For In person, Live at the Troubadoor, it was great to hear the songs from my childhood again: especially those frustrating lines that had been lost to recall. The other album Presenting was new to me but equally as good. Why have the current DJ's forgotten these classics?

2 out of 5 stars One Terrible, One OK.......2005-08-07

There are 2 albums on this CD, the live one is unlistenable. It has to be the most annoying and obnoxious listening experince of my life!!! Awful!!! The other album is OK but not as good as I remember it, very dated... Skip this group!!

5 out of 5 stars A Must for Every Folk Music Fan.......2005-06-09

I'm so pleased that the material from The New Christy Minstrels has been re-released on CD. These first two albums are fun and full of life. "Presenting" features rousing uptempo songs like "That Big Rock Candy Mountain" to ballads like the traditional "Oh! Shenando" with beautiful vocals. "In Person" contains a lot of humor, from songs like "The Invalids" to a great series of short tunes. I wholeheartedly recommend this CD... it's certainly fun to listen and sing along to!

5 out of 5 stars Definitly a "Must Have" CD.......2003-08-29

Whatever you look for in music, you will find it on this recording. Folk fan or not, the excellent arrangements and blend of the Artist's voices cannot fail to draw appreciation from any listener. I have never worn out a CD before. This might be the one!

5 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable!.......2003-07-17

This collection is a work of art! What a difference it makes going from the vinyl album to the CD. It is so clear that you would think the performers are in your living room performing "LIVE".
But this review is about the group as well as the CD. The New Christy Minstrels didn't sing anti-war songs that many of the folk performers of the 60's did. The music had to be simple and could easily be hummed, as Randy Sparks once said. That's what made this group so unique!
This CD, especially the 'IN PERSON' album, shows the true character of this group. Each member was outstanding as a singer and instrumentalist. Whether they performed as a solo, or a group within the big group, they were outstanding!
This album also shows the creative talent behind the founder of the group, Randy Sparks. His talent...is heard in the arrangements..in the songs that he wrote...in his leadership.
The song 'DANCE ME A JIG' is performed by Dolan Ellis and is not on the original album. Yet, it is truly a terrific piece of work!
From the opening song, 'DENVER', to the final song, 'SAINT'S TRAIN', this album is one of the best by this group and it comes highly recommended to those that are looking for a full, robust sound!
Thank you, Randy Sparks and the New Christy Minstrels, for a great album!
