While so many rock bands try to reinvent themselves with every new album, Cake has made a name for itself by sticking to its brand of smirking funk-pop. Blending jazz, rockabilly, experimental rock, and a little less country than usual, Comfort Eagle, the band’s first album since leaving Capricorn Records for Columbia, carries on the Cake tradition of offbeat humor and catchy melodies.

The debut album by Peter, Paul & Mary is still one of the best albums to come out of the 1960s folk music revival.
