This is a beautifully produced record on both sides. Whether it deserves the high rating it currently has probably depends on your personal taste in music. The A side reminds me of the better examples of Sing Along With Mitch Miller. You may remember his spectacular (if brief) success on records and TV leading a large group of singers in choral renditions of popular songs. (Yellow Rose Of Texas, Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech, etc.) If you liked those, you will agree that Shenandoah Rose is an 8.0 or possibly even better. If you didn't, you probably won't agree. "Rockabilly Party" is entertaining, as long as you don't take it too seriously. You can have fun identifying the artists referenced in the badinage between the singers. Here's a tip, though - these supposed hipsters aren't (should say weren't) as hip as all that. It's a well-done (probably unintentionally parodic) snapshot of the time when white cover artists were moving the rock'n'roll sound inexorably into the mainstream. I like it better than the A side, so maybe it is a 9.0 on some scale. I wouldn't class it as any kind of permanent high art, though. It's just good fun.
