This is beyond a doubt the best of Firehouse 5 + 2 I've ever heard. I grew up listening to the album and was thrilled to find the CD version. Overall, it's a pretty good likeness to the album, and it is very clean sounding. I do recall the soprano sax and piano being somewhat more prominent in the original album platform, so the mixing could have been a tad more faithful. The joy these musicians have in performing such fun music is definitely conveyed, and you, too, will be transcended into a happier place.

the Firehouse Five plus Two sound excelent ,I am a dixieland fand ,and this band is on the top

Loved this album as a kid and I was so happy to get on a CD. Not sure what to say about the music, either you like Dixieland or you don't. Ditto for the FH5+2. As Dixieland goes, it's free and easy. . . characterized by lots of work on the sorprano sax, which gives it a unique, less brassy, sound.

The Firehouse Five has a very good blend of their instruments. Some Dixie bands crowd too many instruments into the song and it fails to blend. Firehouse Five does this, I think, extremely well. I have since ordered two more of their albums.
