The Limeliters
The Complete RCA Singles Collection

Description

The Limeliters — Lou Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev, and Glenn Yarbrough — were one of the defining folk trios of the early 1960s, beloved for their tight harmonies, wit, and eclectic taste in material drawn from American, Latin, and international traditions. This CD gathers their complete output as RCA singles into one essential collection, offering a rare survey of the group’s commercial recordings in their original single form. Highlights include the rousing ‘The Midnight Special,’ the tender ‘The Riddle Song,’ and the playful ‘Paco Peco,’ showcasing the trio’s remarkable range from earnest folk balladry to spirited novelty material. For fans of the early folk revival, this is an indispensable document of a group whose influence on the genre has often been underappreciated…
