Album Description Having chronicled the Mitchell Trio's recordings for the Mercury label, which wound up with John Denver replacing Chad Mitchell, we HAD to reissue this rare 1967 album on Reprise, which shows Denver really moving to the fore as the group's leader. In fact, this album presents the premiere recording of Denver's "Leaving on a Jet Plane," a declaration of independence from the group's former artistic direction if there ever was one. Still, there is plenty here to please the dyed-in-the-wool folk fan, too; includes, along with Denver's "Like to Deal with the Ladies," Tom Paxton's "Cindy's Cryin'," "What This Country Really Needs Is Another Movie Star," "Coal Tattoo," "Adam's Rib," "Alabama Mother," "She Loves You," "Flaming Youth," and "A God Is Dead/He Was a Friend of Mine."

CD ReviewsGive me a break! GRJ | Puyallup, WA USA | 11/08/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "After reading an earlier review, I just had to reply. In particular, I wanted to reply to the guy who wrote that John Denver's song, "I like to deal with the ladies" was misogynist and that he wanted to take a shower after hearing it. Give me a break! What did he do - take a class on 21st Century political correctness? Denver's song was just a little fun, not about perverts who prey on young women, but old guys who still like to flirt a bit. My goodness have we become so sensitized to every little thing that we can't even laugh a bit at human nature? Oh, and how dare the Mitchell Trio sing a song that suggests God is not dead as Time magazine at the time so boldly placed on their cover - featuring an article on theologians who made such a lofty claim!??! God may be dead for the author of the aforementioned review, but the Mitchell Trio wanted to say "this about that". How dare they! To be clear this is a good album but not a great one. It's got some really good songs and instrumentals. "Coal Tatoo" is quite well done although not as good as the Kingston Trio version. Most listeners to folk music of that era will enjoy this album. But for goodness sake, lighten up! " John Denver Larry D. Pursell | The Bluegrass State | 01/17/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Great old tunes from a sorely missed era. One of John Denver's first recordings and that makes it special too." Best of the Mitchell Trio albums available Zbodhimama | San Diego, CA USA | 12/28/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Chad Mitchell Trio became the Mitchell Trio when Chad Mitchell left it. And John Denver, then an unknown singer, was chosen to replace him. There are three albums that I'm aware of that feature the Mitchell Trio with John Denver (not counting the reunion album), and of the three, this one is the best. John Denver was always at his most lively in concert, and this was probably his first concert album. The political humor of the Mitchell Trio is there and fun to relive for those of us old enough to get the jokes. As a long-time CMT fan, and a John Denver fan, this is a real treat."
