What's not to like about "ARK-EOLOGY"? First, the CD cover is one of the best I've seen in years. The painting was chosen as the cover by Chad Stuart who found out that the artist Robert McCauley was ironically a Chad and Jermey fan. Forty years ago Chad and Jeremy put out their last album for Columbia Records, the very underrated "The Ark". Hence the title "ARK-EOLOGY". Instead of releasing alternative versions of their hit songs, like "The Beatles" did for their "Anthology" CD's or creating another "Greatest Hits" CD package like most groups do, both Chad and Jeremy decided to re-record various classic songs from their 60's catalogue giving the listener a true perspective of their career. As much as I love their dated 60's record productions, Chad Stuart's new arrangements on the whole improve most of the songs I've heard like "In Love Again" and "Rest In Peace". Chad and Jeremy WERE and STILL are true folk artists and it was great to hear them return to their roots which makes them one of the best duos ever. Their voices are actually better now then they were in the 60's which makes this CD a pleasant listening experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars I still long for the old arrangements....., November 18, 2008

I have been in love with these guys forever....I also think Distant Shores is one of the greatest love songs ever written or sung.....but having said that I longed for the old arrangements after I listened to this new cd. I may have to listen to it a bit more to get the same feelings I get when I listen to the old versions....but I'm so happy that they are still together and recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best!, October 27, 2008

This is a beautiful album, and as individual as the artists themselves. Most of the songs were written by Chad and Jeremy, and are taken from other albums, but re-recorded, and the sound quality is superb. It must have been very difficult choosing which to use, and even harder to decide which to leave out, because they have such a strong portfolio of their own songs. Their voices are still so warm and harmonious and the guitar playing is breathtaking. The CD case is nicely presented, a three fold package with pictures of the old albums from which the songs are taken, and really attractive covers. You won't be disappointed.
