Review:
Decent late-60s folk
This is a compilation of the Perrins' first two LPs, Brother
and Sister aka The Chuck & Mary Perrin Album (1968) and Next Of Kin (1970)
with two extra tracks, originally released on The Peoria Folk Anthology Volume
3.
It's all pleasant, late 60s folky stuff. It's not particularly outstanding in any way,
but it's very decently written, performed and produced. The sound is a bit Peter, Paul & Mary meet
The Everly Brothers, with plenty of reverb on the voices and a slightly
wistful, gotta-be-movin'-on feel to quite a lot of it. It's the sort of thing I loved back then,
hitchhiking around the country with my guitar and a yearning teenage heart; now
it's more a pleasant reminder of a period than anything especially musically
distinguished, but that's OK with me.
If you like that late-60s/early-70s folky sound, it's well
worth trying a few samples and if you enjoy them you'll like the album. It's more than competently done and I'm glad
to have this in my collection to hear every so often.
