On Tour Through Motortown
The New Christy Minstrels
Produced by George Greif and Sid Garris
Arranged and Conducted by Chuck Sagle
Columbia CS 9616
1968

From the back cover: Looking for new worlds to conquer – salute, the Minstrels have chosen here that exciting area that has given so much to the pop music scene: Motortown, U.S.A. That's Dee-troit City, often called Motown, and it has spawned some of the most exciting sounds and groups on the music scene today. As anyone knows who has been near a radio the past few years, the Motown Sound has a groove all its own – full of soul, and with a hard-nosed beat that walks right up your spine.

In this album the Minstrels don't try to imitate the Motown Sound – rather, they take some of the very big numbers from Motown and do their own thing – which is meant as a tribute to the original. These are great songs, full of great power. They are performed here with the bright, rousing sound the Minstrels are so noted for.

Two 20 minute tracks… or basically… one 40 minute budget twist. The band receives an A+ for  stamina!

From the back cover: What we've done in this record was to understand the true spirit of twisting and create an opportunity to get the kinks out, start swinging' and then really get in the groove. So, move back the furniture, push back the walls and everybody do the Chicken Flickin' - Cotton Pickin' - Twenty Minute Twist.
