As a "Child of the Sixties" I grew up with this song. These days it's only played on our local radio station here in New Jersey on Thanksgiving. I bought this CD so I can hear Arlo's ballad any time I want! I really love this tune and it's fun to share with my grown children. Unfortunately the other tracks, in my opinion, don't impress me. BUT...I gladly paid the full CD price just to hear the title song. With an 18 minute listening time, it's well worth the money.
I bought this for my husband...he was telling me this was the first album he ever owned and how much he enjoyed it. was happy to find this for a surprise for him. needless to say he was ecstatic with this purchase. I was also as the delivery and communication were excellent. Thanks for helping me make my husband smile.

A Thankgiving tradition that must live on and be passed along to friends and family! A GREAT 19 minute song that really must be carefully listened to (if you can stop laughing, and commenting on the warped humor)! You might only play this a few times a year (aroung Thanksgiving), but whoever listens to it with you will remember it!!! The other songs on the CD are basically filler and certainly not Arlo's best work.
Getting to hear this classic once again, after so many years---is like having another Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat!I was a few years behind those who were dredged in the Hippie movement,but I heard this just after I signed up for the draft.I signed up as a "conscientious objector".If anything had happened,I guess I would have had to have walked in,sung a few bars and walked out.(then on down to Mexico) I was delighted to hear Alice's Restaurant,but a little disappointed with the rest of the CD.
I listened to this song over and over as a teenager. Haven't heard it for 20 or more years. Was surprised to discover that I could still recite so many of the words, along with the DVD. Catchy tune that sticks in my head and is lighthearted and fun. Might become a family tradition to play this every Thanksgiving evening. THANKS!
