Sing Out! was the second studio album from American folk group The Limeliters were mostly appreciated for their live performances. Glen Yarbrough had a moderately successful career later in the decade. (US:14)

“Sing Out!, found them back in the recording studio for the first time since their self-titled debut album, and although it was a good collection of folk songs and novelties, the loss of the live element was noticeable.”

“We'll sing until we die, The Limeliters explain in Jehosephat, and after that, we'll sing up in the sky. I can't imagine any three individuals more qualified to sing with the angels or whose music is better suited to keeping their listeners forever young.”

“Though The Limeliters are not well known anymore, their heyday coincided with the peak of The Kingston Trio's popularity. Glenn Yarbrough went on to a moderately successful solo career and was clearly the 'first-among-equals' in The Limeliters.”

“The Limeliters' humour and musical skills are as fresh on this album as they were when I first heard them. Time has, indeed, stood still for their unique presentation.”

“Yarbrough's tenor was fabulous, and the way Lou and Alex's voices blended with his, and the superb range of their instrumental expertise, made for something magical.”

“The superlative sound of The Limeliters has held up wonderfully well. The blend of voices and instrumentation that left us open mouthed in delight, tapping our feet and nodding our heads in time to the music, is there in all its glory.”

“I was raised on The Limeliters and other groups of the folk era, and I have not ceased to enjoy the quality of the music. The richness of humour, folklore and history are qualities that aren't found in the music being produced today. The blend of the trio's voices, and the simplicity of their instrumentals, make this a joy to listen to. I believe it transcends generations and will do so for many to come.”
