Review

This double-CD from Washington State's legendary Brothers Four captures the group doing what they do best: performing on stage. Recorded live in Tokyo over the course of two days in 1996, the celebrated folk group, whose heyday was in the late 1950s and early '60s, spiritedly perform classics, a few somber ballads, and no fewer than five medleys (the best being the Man of La Mancha synopsis and the patriotic "American Medley"). Though it's a live recording, the Japanese audience at this hootenanny remains respectful and the sound quality is superb. Whether it's bluegrass ("Whiskey in the Jar"), Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain" or the moving "Seven Daffodils," the Brothers Four prove that they belong in the forefront of the wholesome folk movement, where harmonies and a positive message are valued over controversial politics and self-righteousness. --Jason Verlinde
