Words I Want to Hear is an original by Robert Allen, who may have been in the group. The song starts with a subdued atmosphere of just acoustic guitar, percussion and solo voice. Bass and harmonies add momentum until the cathartic moment when the guitarist breaks into the chorded solo.

High Flying Bird is one of those songs that bridged the transition from folk to rock, like House of the Rising Sun and Hey Joe. Written by Billy Ed Wheeler and originally recorded by Judy Henske, it was covered by many groups, including We Five, the Jefferson Airplane and the Canadian band the Plague, who do a great psychedelicized version. The Balladeers take is as excellent as any of these.

Over a year later, the Balladeers released one additional 45 on the Seven Seas label, Used to Be / Goin' Out of My Head, which I haven't heard, but is considered light vocal pop.
