All these songs are making me dig out all their other CDs and play them. Their music is humorous, their love songs spellbinding, when singing for a cause, they draw you in and make you feel it as they do.

The Shaw Brothers are among the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. They hail from southern New Hampshire, and they still give concerts around Merrimack, Nashua, and vicinity.

Their repertoire is a great mixture of folk classics and original works, much of it centered on New Hampshire history and culture. If you're a real New Englander, you can't help being moved by these guys--I don't understand why they aren't world famous.

This CD is the only collection of Shaw Brothers' work available today. Their earlier releases, like ``Floating Down the Merrimack'', are no longer made. Some wonderful songs are missing, but everything on this CD is excellent.

WOW! Great web site on Amazon, Rick & Ron! I am going to love listening to these samples for quite a while, I'll tell you. You come across well, and this is a good production of all your life's work! Keep it up! We love ya! It has been many a mile since we were at UNH together, and I was first astonished at your talents "freshman week" in 1961! You came out on the stage at New Hampshire Hall, and I knew I had chosen a great college for an experience! We have been so proud ever since, and I cherish my personal history about helping you to get going again at the old Oxen Yoke in North Conway. Your sound is as good as ever, and anyone who loves folk music of our era should own all your albums (now on CD's)! I've got my own web page up now on my nature writing work: [...] Check it out!
