The Farmer Boys' complete 16 sides for Capitol, cut between January of 1955 and
February of 1957, represent about as varied a body of music as one could squeeze
into just four sessions in three years. The order isn't chronological, as the
producers have put the rockabilly numbers up first, even though they came later,
while their first, traditional-sounding records (complete with fiddle and mandolin,
the latter played by Bill Woods) come last. Taken in totality, one gets several
beautiful harmony-based ballads ("No One"), Lonzo & Oscar-type novelty tunes
("Flip Flop," "Onions, Onions"), and high-energy near-rockers ("My Baby Done Left Me,"
"Cool Down Mame," "Flash, Crash and Thunder"). These 16 songs make a fair album,
with no one side of the duo's sound dominating; apart from the vocals, which are
equally effective on ballads or silly singalongs ("You're a Humdinger"), the music
is worth owning for Roy Nichols' playing. It's hard to say where the duo would
have gone had it recorded any further, but the material the Farmer Boys left behind
is exceptionally appealing musically, as well as great fun.
