WHAT WE LIKE: This CD is a happy trip for BB fans and for children, particularly when cruising around in the car! The stereo sound is far superior to what came out of your tv set in the 70s. Most of the songs are your catchy, bubble gum fun type. WHAT WE DON'T LIKE: Almost all of the songs are enjoyable, but skip "American Pie", "Sweet Sweetheart" and "Truckin' Back to You". No one can beat Don McClean for American Pie (truly!)and Sweet Sweetheart sounds like it's performed by an unknown group of singers reminiscent of the backups for the Partridge Family. Truckin' Back to You just sounds repetitive/annoying (using some unknown "disco" women to back Maureen McCormick). WHAT WE LIKE:If you saw and enjoyed the kids' movie "Charlotte's Web" back in 1973, there is a very nice rendition of the movie's theme on this CD. The liner notes (which are great nostalgia for you BB fans) say that the Bunch sang this song at the actual premiere of the movie out in California---who knew??? There are plenty of other tidbits of information about the Bunch's musical pursuits as well. SUMMARY: This CD would have been a "5", if not for the 3 previously panned songs that I mentioned. Well-known tunes from the tv series are great fun, along with less-knowns such as "Gonna Find A Rainbow" and "I Just Want to Be Your Friend". ENJOY THE SONGS AND THE LINER NOTES! :o)Read full review
I was feeling nostalgic for the things of my youth--my love for music had me longing to hear some of the fun-loving innocense of the Brady kids. "It's a Sunshine Day", "Keep On", and "Time to Change" are what you want to hear when you want that 'blast from the past' feeling of the tv show. There are a few other fun songs but, for the right price, this cd is worth the listen. P.S. I orginally had some of these songs on 8-track as a kid--wow, I'm feeling old!
Ok - If you're not a Brady Bunch fan - there's no reason to continue. But if you are - then this is a fun album of those Brady Kids singing in that oh so sickeningly sweet style that defined them.

Born To Say Goodbye - (with Florence Henderson) 7. Keep On 8. Time To Change 9. Sweet Sweetheart - (with Barry Williams) 10. I Just Want To Be Your Friend 11. Merry Go Round 12. Charlotte's Web 13.

I was watching the Brady house being done on HGTV and wanted to have the music. This truly brings you back to Sunshine Days! Thank you.

It is a great nostalgia CD for when I was a kid. They were mostly awful at singing, but the songs are catchy and the subjects clean and not full of sex. The attitude is positive and I need that right now.
