Leading off with their sole American hit (the title track), Silver Threads & Golden Needles presented a talented vocal group that was rather too eclectic for its own good. Often it seemed as if they couldn't make up their mind up whether to be a commercial folk revival group, or a conventional mainstream show biz act with folksy flavorings.
