Experience the sharp wit and brilliant folk parodies of mid-century comedy icons with Think Ethnic! by The Smothers Brothers. Released in 1963 on Mercury Records, this vintage 12″ vinyl LP captures the duo’s signature sibling rivalry and deadpan musical satire at its absolute peak.
Dive into the golden age of live stand-up and musical comedy with Think Ethnic! by the legendary duo The Smothers Brothers (Tom and Dick Smothers). Originally released in 1963 by Mercury Records, this hit comedy album beautifully showcases the brothers’ unique blend of genuine folk musicianship, chaotic sibling bickering, and sharp satirical humor that eventually propelled them to historic television stardom.
Recorded live to capture the raw, infectious energy of their nightclub sets, the album perfectly balances Tom’s iconic, stuttering “mom always liked you best” comedic persona against Dick’s straight-faced vocal and double bass delivery. The record features hilarious, deconstructed parodies of traditional American and international folk tunes, including their legendary takes on “John Henry,” “The Wreck of the ‘Old 97’,” and the absurdly funny “Venezuelan Rain Dance.” Pressed as a 12-inch 33 RPM vinyl LP, this vintage analog recording offers a wonderfully warm, vibrant, and intimate listening experience that makes you feel like you are sitting front row in a classic 1960s comedy club.
Tracklist:
Side 1: The Wreck of the “Old 97”; Black Is the Color of My True Love’s Hair; The Fox; Venezuelan Rain Dance; Daniel Boone; My Old Man.
Side 2: John Henry; I Talk to the Trees; The Street Methuselah; The Saga of John Crump; Slithery Dee; Cabbage.
Housed in its original vintage 1960s cardboard sleeve featuring classic retro cover photography, this highly entertaining record is an indispensable cornerstone acquisition for classic comedy fans, mid-century folk-revival historians, and vintage vinyl collectors alike.
