"Having played keyboards on a couple of Brady Bunch recordings I'm a bit biased, but I'm crazy about the Bunch. I actually wrote a tune for them which was recorded entitled "Teeny Weeny Bit", but I'm not sure it made it to wax!

"Even though I'm a Brady fan, this album surprised me with its high quality. It starts slowly, but then breaks into a run of nine consecutive great performances, starting with the upbeat "Colorado Snow". "Parallel Lines" shows off harmonies you didn't know the Brady kids were capable of. Their rendition of Lobo's "A Simple Man" is simply one of the top recordings of the 70's. "Yo-Yo Man" was probably chosen for the album because of it's kiddy title, but the Brady version gets beyond this. An extremely talented studio musician lays down a guitar solo that absolutely burns with funk --- for a howl I like to imagine that it's Cindy sawing the axe. The cover version of the Seals & Crofts classic "Summer Breeze" is, surprisingly, as good as the original, maybe better. Then the haunting "Charlotte's Web" (probably from the 70's animated movie version) is amazingly reminiscent of the Eagles' "Hotel California". "Gonna Find a Rainbow" is memorable for Jan's effort to struggle through a solo that calls for notes far outside her range. The poor girl dutifully gives it her best shot, though. Three bonus tracks are included from the obscure album Chris Knight and Maureen McCormick (which has not been re-released to my knowledge). There is a noticeable drop in quality, as Peter and Marcia didn't rate the same quality of professional musical support as did the entire family. Or maybe it's just that Peter can't sing. "There is Nothing More to Say" contains some suggestive lyrics delivered by Marcia. Collect the other two Brady albums and you'll have a total of about nine tracks from Knight & McCormick."
