The popular folk group The New Christy Minstrels second album In Person showcased their acclaimed live performances at the Troubadour Club in Los Angeles. (US:30)

"In Person presents the band in a live setting, and amazingly, they handle the multiple vocal parts with the same aplomb as their studio work."

"In Person represents the epitome of popular folk music during the early '60s, and shows The New Christy Minstrels at their most sprightly."

"The New Christy Minstrels In Person recaptures much of the charm of their concurrent stage show."

"If your musical taste includes folk songs that tell stories which cover the range of humorous, dramatic, faith affirming, poignant and whimsical - played by extremely talented singers/musicians - then this LP is a must for you."

"Prior to the British rock invasion, the Christy ensemble was one of the most popular musical acts in America."

"It accurately captures the showmanship and energy that made a Christys' performance an enjoyable event for fans of all ages."

"Everything anyone could ever want in just a single album is in here - the wistful through to the foot-tapping extraordinary, the patriotic through to the downright hilarious, and all played by the most amazingly talented ensemble of musicians and singers ever assembled."

"In Person contains a lot of humour, from songs like The Invalids to a great series of short tunes. I wholeheartedly recommend this album, its certainly fun to listen and sing along to."
