"It captures the early 'folk' influences that we heard on the TV show Hootenanny. I consider it to be the quintessential NCM album."
"The New Christy Minstrels went beyond just being a folk group; they combined extraordinary musical talents and strong personalities such as Barry McGuire putting together songs of beauty, power, nostalgia and pure fun."
"This album has been a true a joy to listen to. A wonderful collection of songs."
"I foresee a time when we can tell our children's grandchildren that there was a time before sampling, and lip-syncing, when real musicians actually had to practice their instruments, and their vocal harmonization, to sound good."
"NCM were my favourites growing up, because they so heavily relied on the voices, rather than a show or the instruments."
"When you look into the combinations of harmony and the talents that sprang into other areas from this group - it is one of the foundations of today's music."
“The New Christy Minstrels were under appreciated: truly part of the origins of folk music."
