Summary: Mighty Day on Campus
Comment: If any of you saw my other reviews you see my musical taste are all over the place. While listening to the sounds of the 50's and 60's Folk music snuck in and was very popular. While I would assume Peter, Paul and Mary were the most popular, the Chad Mitchell Trio was right up there with many songs and albums. This one happens to be my favorite. Its funny, its serious and its lively with great harmony and voices. I would recommend this album to all.

Summary: A great solo bango bit by Roger McGuinn - yes the guy from the Byrds
Comment: As a life long McGuinn fan I just want other McGuinn junkies to know that this album contains a real gem. McGuinn was the instrumental accompanist for this album from his pre-hippie folks days (he's even on the cover in a buzz cut and suit) and he really tears it up in his banjo solo on "Whup Jamboree". Roger is soliciting suggestions through his web site for songs to record so I wrote and asked him to record a new version of "Whup Jamboree" for his ongoing folk archives, which he did, and you can now download it. Thanks Roger!

Summary: A True Folk Music Gem
Comment: I have owned this album since it was first released around 1961, and it remains one of my favorites. The Trio is in superb form, with great harmonies and Chad's extraordinary soaring tenor rising above the solid accompaniment by Jim McGuinn (who later changed his first name to Roger and founded the Byrds). The fact that this was recorded live only testifies to the Trio's talent, as their sound could not be improved if it were a studio recording. This is a must for any fan of folk music, and will be a special treat for those who are unaware of the Trio.
