The Brothers Four - Greenfields Angelique O

Review by Isabella Lavelli

Album Review: Greenfields Angelique O by The Brothers Four Alright, buckle up, folks. Let’s talk about Greenfields Angelique O, the 1960 gem from The Brothers Four that somehow ended up being released in more countries than I’ve had hot dinners. Folk, World, Country, Rock, Pop—this album is like a genre salad bar where you grab a little of everything and hope it doesn’t clash. And honestly? It kinda works. First off, let’s dive into “Greenfields.” This track isn’t just a song; it’s an earworm with legs. The harmonies here are smoother than butter on a hot biscuit, and the lyrics paint pictures so vivid you’ll start Googling real estate in the countryside. (Spoiler: You won’t find these green fields on Zillow.) Whether it’s the original English version or the French twist “Verte Campagne,” this tune sticks to your brain like gum under a school desk. It’s the kind of ballad that makes you want to lie in a meadow, even if you’re stuck in rush-hour traffic. Then there’s “Angelique-O.” Oh, Angelique. If “Greenfields” is the wholesome, acoustic hug of the album, this one’s the quirky cousin who shows up uninvited but steals the show anyway. With its jaunty rhythm and borderline obsessive refrain, it’s impossible not to hum along. Is it love? Is it madness? Who cares—it’s catchy as heck. Fun fact: saying “Angelique-O” repeatedly sounds like you’re trying to cast a spell. Don’t ask me what kind of spell, though. Probably one involving accordions and hay bales. The Brothers Four managed to blend styles like Ballad, Pop Rock, Folk, and Country Rock without losing their charm—a feat harder than convincing a cat to wear a hat. Sure, some tracks feel like they belong at a campfire singalong, while others could soundtrack a spaghetti western. But hey, variety is the spice of life, right? Now, here’s the kicker: this album came out in nine countries, slapped with labels like Philips, CBS, Columbia, and Coronet. That’s a lot of stamps for one record. It’s almost as if the world couldn’t decide whether Greenfields Angelique O was folk gold or pop perfection. Spoiler alert: it’s both. So, would I recommend this album? Absolutely. It’s the musical equivalent of comfort food—simple, sincere, and oddly timeless. Listening to it feels like stepping into a time machine dressed as a Volkswagen van. Just don’t blame me when “Greenfields” gets stuck in your head for three days straight. Final thought: If The Brothers Four ever decided to tour again, I’d totally go—even if they made me sing backup. But only if they promised not to name any new songs after vegetables. Carrots? Beets? No thanks. Let’s leave produce metaphors in 1960 where they belong.

It was released in 1960 and became a hit across multiple countries, including Norway, Germany, and Australia.
