World Class Folk
Album Review

One of the most popular folk groups from the 60's, the Brandywine Singers brought their tight four-part harmonies together with the classic acoustic instruments of banjo, guitar, and bass, leaving an indelible impression on fans of 60's folk, and a rich legacy with the albums they recorded and their extensive touring.

Now, after a thirty year intermission, they are reunited, and they're better than ever. The same exuberance and excitement is there; the same great sound, professionalism and good taste. But now there's something new. There's an added maturity and self-assurance that only experience can provide. Like good wine, The Brandywine Singers have come of age, and WORLD CLASS FOLK is the result.

WORLD CLASS FOLK brings togther several of their top hits of the sixties like "Two Little Boys" - a post-Civil War ballad which was the second Brandywine single release, and continues to be on the Brandywine's "most requested" list, and the uproarious "I've Lost My YoYo." Amongst their hits the Brandywine Singers have included several exciting new songs, like the gorgeous New England sailing song "The Martin Greigh," and folk standards like "Seven Dafodils."

The result is an album that is an inspiration to fans and newcomers alike, as well as a brilliant collection of classic folk music, and perfect introduction to the sounds and style of the folk era.. Whether the songs were hits for the Brandywine Singers, or were songs first made popular by other artists, they all capture universal themes like love, childhood, and patriotism, and they all give life to joyous memories, and explain the unyielding loyalty the Brandywine Singers command amongst their many fans.
