ABOUT THE RECORD
The Brothers Four, by Brothers Four, formed in 1957 at the University of Washington, consisting of Bob Flick, John Paine, Mike Kirkland, and Dick Foley. Drawing from the Kingston Trio's folk revival wave, the album features harmonious renditions of traditional and contemporary folk tunes, blending acoustic guitars, banjo, and tight vocal arrangements to capture the era's wholesome, collegiate spirit. Historically significant as one of the early commercial successes in the post-Weavers folk boom, it peaked in the top 20 on the Billboard charts and helped solidify the viability of clean-cut folk acts amid the burgeoning 1960s music scene, just before the British Invasion shifted tastes toward rockier sounds. The standout hit single from the album is
Greenfields, which soared to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, sold over a million copies, and earned a gold disc from the RIAA, becoming the group's signature song and a defining moment in mainstream folk history. Other notable tracks like
Darlin' Sportin' Jenny and
The Three Ravens showcase their storytelling prowess, though none matched
Greenfields's chart impact.
