We still listen to the LP version of this album! It's a beloved family treasure. Kids will likely enjoy the easy-to-remember tunes. Adults will enjoy the funny, catchy lyrics and the harmony. All in all, this is great music that has stood the test of time.

You don't have to worry about explicit language or ear splitting volume - you can just enjoy the clever writing and pleasing tunes. Don't be surprised if the whole household starts singing along. It's hard not to!

4.0 out of 5 stars Back when songs had melody., April 8, 2003

This first Mitch Miller singalong album was quite a milestone, in my opinion. Anyone who could get very self-conscious afraid-to-sing afraid-to-dance Americans singing deserves praise for that accomplishment alone. The subsequent string of similar Mitch Miller albums was proof of the popularity of his concept. And Americans did sing along with these old standards: I grew up singing songs I learned from this album while sitting around campfires in the deserts of California and Arizona in the late 1950s. In those pre-Beatles days, the musical emphasis was on melody instead of on the musician's egos and electronic sound effects. "Don't Fence Me In" is particularly sweet here, and is my favorite song from the album. I can still see the Joshua trees stretching out into the distance... The first half of the album drags a little too much for my taste; the second half is generally more lively and catchy, and more suitable for fun singalongs. I believe these albums used to be accompanied by lyric sheets, but in this resource-stressed modern world you have to find the lyrics yourself on the Internet.

I like the way Mitch Miller sing these songs, I like the lyrics, I like the orchestration and it is a good choice of easy listening songs. So, it is a good CD to buy.
