The sole album by
's sole post-
recording project isn't anything special. It's par-for-the-course, clean-cut, early-1960s folk, not too different from what he'd done with
. Perhaps it was more diverse in repertoire, and the female harmony (and sometimes lead) vocals by
were an element missing in his former group. Of course, as it turns out
steals the show from the ostensible leader perhaps more often than was intended; her trademark husky, powerful vibrato vocals featuring strongly throughout, and coming to the fore on the cover of
's
especially. When she does take the lead, things get a little more interesting, with a bluesy bent that would have been downright foreign to
. The group's earnest interpretation of
is one of the stronger tracks, but the dumb, dated humor of
is a decided lowlight, and the other detours into comedy-tinted tunes are corny too. Really, the only reason to search for this would be if you're a big
or
fan. Even then, it's not nearly as good as the best things
did as a soloist or part of other groups, as she grew into folk-rock and even psychedelia throughout the rest of the 1960s. ~ Richie Unterberger
