"If you're new to Barbershop, this is a decent intro. You get some good tunes by some good groups, including the gals (a few Sweet Adeline groups).If you're already into Barbershop, you'll probably be disappointed. The mix is too eclectic; there are too many so-so cuts; and on top of it, the production of the CD is suspect (a couple of the tracks are so close together you barely have time to breath).A well-chosen half-dozen CDs, each done by a different group, would be a better way to start a Barbershop collection. Too bad Amazon doesn't carry much of this stuff...."
Great Mix of Great songs by Great Quartets

"If you're new to the barbershop style of a cappella singing, this is the perfect way to be introduced. This compilation has wide variety of songs performed by some of the best groups in the Barbershop Society's 60+ year history. It demonstrates how much amazing music can be created by four people without the aid of a single instrument. It's a must have for any fan of a cappella music!"
Truly the best of the best

"I am a barbershopper, and I know several of the performers on this CD, and I just can't get enough of it! These artists are true masters of barbershop style. They are what I aspire to be! No one yet that I have played this for has not gotten shivers when Ambiance sings the "Rhapsody of New York". Even my five year old daughter (also an aspiring barbershopper) said "Wow, Mommy!" This also a great CD for those not familiar with female barbershoppers (Sweet Adelines). Check out "Jeepers Creepers" by Rumors for a song you'll be singing for days! I have gotten copies for nearly all my family and friends, and you will want to do the same!"
Good Quality Acapella Music

"Music has nice variety of conventional barbershop and entertaining acapella music, mixed male and female groups. Overall a good buy and I'm pleased with the purchase."
