Tonight: In Person was recorded live at the Ash Grove, Hollywood in July 1960. The Limeliters formed part of the American folk revival of the early 1960s. (US:5)

“The Limeliters are by far the best, from harmony to humour. It's almost as if I'm there in concert with them again. Glenn Yarbrough's melodic voice shines in Molly Malone and The Far Side Of The Hill. A well done album which I highly recommend to folk music fans.”

“Their songs, which are ballads from across many lands, consist of hilariously funny audience group participation as well as tender songs of love.”

“The songs stay with you, thanks to soaring harmonies and ferocious energy. The humour retains its bite more than forty years after recording. Most impressively, The Limeliters didn't patronize their audience. Most of the humour on the record is sophisticated, and much of it is unspoken.”

“Lou Gottlieb's quick witted ad-libbing was genius in itself and Alex Hassilev was the quiet baritone. But Glenn Yarbrough, my favourite, has a clear splendid voice that when accompanied by his beautiful whistling brought forth great tenderness to his ballads of lost loves. This album consists of some of their most memorable songs.”

“Nothing beats folk music in live concert form and this particular album, while it certainly shows off individual talents, humour and creativity, is enhanced with some great audience participation. That's what folk music was all about and The Limeliters were great at their craft.”

“This album is a true classic. It's from back in the time when groups were more interested in making music than just noise.”

“The album showed the tremendous poise and versatility the group. This album is a winner all the way and one of the shining examples of the best of the urban folk revival of the early '60s. Each Limeliter was given a chance to shine.”
