The Limeliters is a studio album by the American folk music group, The Limeliters, a trio made up of Lou Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev, and Glenn Yarbrough. It was released in 1960 on the Elektra label (catalog no. EKL-180).[1] It was the group's first album and its only album for Elektra.[2]
The album did not chart upon its release in 1960. However, the group's popularity grew the following year with the release of a live album, Tonight: In Person. The live album peaked at No. 5 on Billboard magazine's pop album chart, and the 1960 album then debuted on the chart in October 1961, peaking at No. 40.[3]
AllMusic gave the album a rating of three stars. Reviewer Cary Ginell called it "an impressive debut" with strong three-part harmonies.[2]
"Times Are Getting Hard" was used in the Breaking Bad episode "Ozymandias".
