Title: ...and I'm being generous to give it two stars
Review: This is the weakest Brothers Four collection I have and the two weakest albums I've heard from them.Regarding "Sing of Our Times" -- there's nothing better than mediocre in the whole set and "Beans Taste Fine" is ridiculously bad. I can't recommend this album at all.Regarding "The Honey Wind Blows" -- a mixed bag. This album marks an early move by the Brothers Four from folk music into "easy listening" with their covers of "Somewhere" and "Feed the Birds" -- the performances are nice but they don't have anything to do with folk music. "Cleano" is also ridiculously bad. On the other hand, "Turn Around," "The Waves Roll Out," and "Little Play Soldiers" are as good as anything the Brothers Four ever did. By itself, I could recommend this album.Together the two albums make a weak collection. I can only recommend the CD for die-hard Brothers Four fans to fill-out their collections.
