Short intro

The Smothers Brothers Play It Straight is the ninth album by the Smothers Brothers released February 15, 1966 on Mercury Records. As the title indicates, the folk comedy duo were singing the songs straight well, Almost. Like the B-side of their second album, Two Sides of the Smothers Brothers, the recording was done in a studio instead of on stage. The album cover shows Tom standing with his guitar and Dick sitting on a stool with his bass lying behind him. There is also a chicken eating. Dick Smothers is predictably much more comfortable with straight material than his brother, and sings four songs solo. Tom sings Silver Threads and Golden Needles without cracking a joke, but his other two solo turns provide the album's only comedy bits. Much of the material is pop rather than folk, reflecting the extent to which the commercial craze for folk groups had waned. Album 1965 13 Songs. More By The Smothers Brothers.
