At last, an album for everyone! Whether you enjoy rock, folk, bubblegum, country and western, underground Motown, good music, WIXY-1260 or even the old surfing sound, the Cowsill's "In Concert" album for MGM will more than satisfy. This multi-talented musical family gives samples of every type of music, and everything is outstanding.

"Hair," the family's top 10 smash single that earned a gold record for more than 1,000,000 sales, is featured on the longplay. Another family treat is the Mamas and the Papas' "Monday, Monday." Bob Cowsill does a smooth rendition of "Walk Away, Renee," while brother Barry wails on "Please Mr. Postman." Little nine-year-old Suzie Cowsill will charm the bubblegum buffs with her "Hello, Hello" greeting an Mama Cowsill is outstanding with Peter Paul & Mary's "Cruel War."

The Cowsills do great things with the Beatles' "Paperback Writer" and the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations." They also score with Mitch Ryder's "Good Golly Miss Molly" and "Devil With a Blue Dress." John Cowsill will appeal to the country and western enthusiasts with a sparkling version of Ringo's "Act Naturally," while brother Paul takes the listener on an exciting musical trip underground with the Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love." Motown maniacs will love the family's treatment of the Four Tops' hit, "Reach Out." Production and arrangements are by Bill and Bob Cowsill are near perfect throughout. This is one family album that every family should own. A perfect gift for anyone.
