The New Christy Minstrels - Big Hits from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) [Hi-Res]

The New Christy Minstrels, from 1961 to Today
Formed in 1961, it’s remarkable that today the New Christy Minstrels remain a presence on the American folk music scene. This is due in no small measure to the fact that the group founder, singer-songwriter Randy Sparks, at the age of 85/86 continues his active involvement with the group – as he has without interruption all along.

To be clear, the group – with a name borrowed from a mid-19thcentury musical performance ensemble formed by Edwin Pearce Christy* – has had a succession of members over time, many of whom went on to solo career fame. But importantly, founder Sparks has remained its leader and center for six decades.
