@ aquila5659. I love these guys but how could you say you love them more than Take 6? To be fair, their model is based on Take 6, Manhattan Transfer, Rare Silk and if you go back even farther the Mills Brothers and Barbershop Quartets. They admire Take 6 and The Blenders sound is not unlike Take 6's. The Blenders also happen to be friends of mine and would tell you the same....
I couldn't agree more. I knew Gene and stand in awe of his musical mind. Darren Rust has paid personal tribute to Gene, to Mervyn Warren and Take 6 (who were also heavily influenced by Gene and the Singers Unlimited).
No need to make comparisons: these groups acknowlege their roots with pride! The Blenders stand atop the shoulders of giants, happily so.
And lucky for us listeners. I still listen to 'Small Fry' and wonder what the Blenders would do with it.
It seems odd that no one has made a comparison to the group that I have considered the VERY BEST male vocal quartet, EVER! This group is as good or better than the Hi-Lo's. Gene Puerling would be proud.
This CD is a "must-have" for the holiday season. I never get tired of it and i have had it for several years now. BUY IT NOW! Plus, they are from MN and I used to be too.

A friend who played in a band introduced them to me 10 years ago...they are awesome. They put "straight no chaser" to shame.
