The seven-song Extended Player is a delight from start to finish with the band playing loving renditions of the classic show songs like “Dooley,” Stay All Night (Stay A Little Longer)” and of course, the Mayberry’s Finest Theme. It’s a collection that shows off the values of the show and that of The Grascals and how they both aim to please and entertain folks of all ages. The short one-minute-plus new track “Boy Giraffes are Selfish” serves as the lone original song on the album and it’s based on a memorable line from one of The Grascals’ favorite episodes.
Lovingly crafted by a band that even incorporates Andy Griffith Show trivia contests into their shows and now, with this album, they’ll be forever tied to a piece of classic Americana, something they’re fast becoming themselves.
