Chad Mitchell Himself / Love a Feeling of
There are few great voices in the annals of American Music. Certainly there was Sinatra and Elvis, but one that has not been given his due because of his time and perceived idiom is Chad Mitchell. Mitchell, if known at all, is remembered as the main voice of the folk trio that bore his name in the early to mid sixties. The Mitchell Trio, with the able assistance of brilliant producer Milt Okum, recorded a number of excellent albums filled with witty social commentary. By 1965 Chad left the group to pursue a solo career, and was replaced by a young John Denver. This CD includes the first two of only four solo albums he has thus far recorded.
These two albums are flawless gems that never found an audience. Mitchell's voice is incredible and his interpretive skills are second to none as he does definitive renditions of an array of great songs including Tom Paxton's "The Other Side of this Life", "Over The Rainbow", Paul Simon's "Sign on a Subway Wall", "Dark as a Dungeon" and "Brother Can You Spare Me a Dime". His rendering of Eric Andersen's "Violets of Dawn" is three-demensional in its power, taking it to a level that only a handful of songs have ever achieved.
Folk Era Records should be highly commended for releasing these two albums. Hopefully they will also release his third album CHAD, which contains an enchanting version of "Follow". To round off their releases of unheralded classics I hope they also get the rights to the POZO SECO SINGERS masterpiece SHADES OF TIME.

This review is from: Chad Mitchell Himself / Love, A Feeling of (Audio CD)

I love Chad Mitchell's voice and have bought and worn out several copies of Chad Mitchell Himself. I can't say there are no songs I skip, but what I do love, I love the most.

I don't want to tell the sad tale of mismanagement and personal mistakes that caused the music world to overlook Chad Mitchell, but you won't find a better tenor anywhere. I prefer the Himself album to the Love a Feeling Of because I like more songs on it, but each album has their special place in my heart.

This is such a bargain at this price, you should not deny yourself.

Mr. Mitchell has the most beautiful voice. This album he sang by
himself, but he again joined with the Chad Mitchell Trio and they
harmonize beautifully. All three have fantastic voices.
