Sleeve Notes

"The Young Tradition is probably the finest vocal group singing in any folk idiom … their arrangements are invariable tight, exciting and definitive … I have played the record for people with wildly varying tastes, and not one of them failed to fall in love with it."

Broadside (Cambridge, Mass.)
