From Frank's Vinyl Museum 5
I never really paid much attention to the “Brady Bunch,” but this LP goes to show you that this whole “Hannah Montana” concept ain't all that original. And the Brady kids did it without Auto Tune!
Here's what Frank has to say about “The Kids from the Brady Bunch.”
Who needs the Partridge Family? These kids do it all -- they even cover the Beatles!
This is the best of the several Brady Bunch albums that were produced in the early 70's. This one doesn't contain the popular Time To Change tune that Peter Brady sang on the show, but the studio band and overall sound quality on this disc makes it superior to other Brady releases. The recording of Sunshine Day from this album was used verbatim in the Brady Bunch movie, a testament to the contribution that vinyl makes even in today's digital world (ok, they probably used the original studio tape, but still...)
What impressed me most about this record was that I could actually identify each individual Brady in most of the songs -- quite a feat when you consider that there are six children's voices mixed together (or maybe it's a sad commentary on the number of hours I wasted over the years watching television).
Listen to the MP3s!
Drummer Man Lay it on me, Drummer Man!!
Candy Marcia makes you a sweet offer you can't refuse.
Love Me Do A cheesy Beatles cover that actually rocks, in its own special Brady way.
