Best music provided on/off campus by The Brothers Four lives up to its title for this folk group. The diverse B.M.O.C provided them with their highest US album chart showing. The Brothers popularity would wane quite considerably after this. (US:4)
“An ideal artefact of its era: upbeat and enjoyable (and totally inauthentic) presentations of folk songs and folk-type songs. The songs on B.M.O.C are diverse and sung with great subtlety and sophistication, and constitute the group's best work. The range of material on this disc makes it an excellent alternative to a greatest hits collection by the group.”
“I listened to this as a child, and have always remembered the songs. Their vocal harmonies, and instrument mastery, have no equal.”
“I don't know what makes The Brothers Four sound so good. Their voices, their own arrangements, I’m just not sure.”
. “Back to cheerful days that unfortunately won't come back but that nothing and nobody can ever take away from you.”
“The Brothers Four were popular at the same time that The Kingston Trio were big. I felt these guys were just as good and sometimes better.”
