Customer Reviews

It's about time

It's about time iTunes added Brewer & Shipley's Greatest Hits. The previous version of "One Toke Over The Line" that iTunes carried was not a quality version. Brewer & Shipley have many other great songs and this album features a good sampling on them. Famous for being on Richard Nixon's Enemies List for their 1971 counterculture classic "One Toke Over The Line", this release features that hit plus their other charting songs, "Tarkio Road", "Shake Off the Demon", "Witchi Tai To", "People Love Each Other", "Oh, Mommy (I Ain't No Commie)" and appearances by Jerry Garcia and Mike Bloomfield. Good start iTunes. Now please, please add their individual albums which they are still making to this day. These guys are true singer songwriters with other great songs such as "Hearts Overflowing" and "Bound To Fall" found here on iTunes covered by several other artists. Start working on getting their catalogue.

More than one hit wonders

This duo had an astonishingly great interweaving vocal blend and their music has a nice, laid back feel. Similar in spirit to Loggins & Messina. And they had help from Nicky Hopkins, Jerry Garcia... And very good songwriting. And yet apart from "One Toke Over the Line", nobody seems to know any of this stuff. "Toke" is certainly a good place to start. Other gems include "Tarkio Road" and two from their "Weeds" album, "Witchi-Tai-To" and "Rise Up (Easy Rider)". Fans of 1969/1970 vintage folk/country/rock please check this out.

More than one toke...

I grew up listening to Brewer and Shipley, and I would defintely classify them as more than 'one hit wonders'. Their work is a great example of the early folk rock, and the lyrics and melodies are both provocative and catchy. I wish Itunes had more of a selection, some of what I consider their 'best stuff' didn't make it to this particular collection.
