The Brothers Four - Song Book (1961)

A pleasant if not necessarily adventurous collection of 12 songs, beginning with versions of "Rock Island Line" and "Goodnight Irene." Those are followed by a handful of traditional songs with new words added (helpful in securing copyright), including "The Tavern Song" (aka "Tavern in the Town"), "Lady Greensleeves," "Ole Smokey," etc.

It's all sweetly sung and easy enough to listen to - so much so that this album could qualify as an "easy listening" selection - but not terribly ambitious. Indeed, next to these guys on this album, the Kingston Trio of the same era sounds like Bob Dylan and the Band.
