One of the remarkable things about
the Bobs is how good they sound live, with no overdubs or studio tricks. Most -- possibly all -- of
My, I'm Large was recorded live (there are no details on the record sleeve, but audience reactions can be heard in the background). It's a remarkable album from an increasingly confident group. The four steady, pure voices are as solid as ever, and there is more sharing of lead vocal duties than on previous albums.
Richard Greene gets his first lead vocal on the classic "Little Red Riding Hood," which would become a concert favorite for years thereafter, and Janie Scott gets several turns fronting the band. Many of these songs feature delicious slices of wacky humor delivered with some of the most inventive vocal parts ever written by this group.
