"The Smothers Brothers Play It Straight" (Released February 15, 1966 on Mercury Records) was the ninth album released by the Smothers Brothers. As the title indicates, the folk comedy duo were singing the songs "straight" (well, "Almost"). On their second album, "Two Sides of the Smothers Brothers" the B-side has also seen Tom and Dick recording in a studio instead of on stage. The album cover show Tom standing with his guitar and Dick sitting on a stool with his bass lying behind him. There is also a chicken eating chicken-feed, which could be a representation of Frank, Tom's wagon pulling chicken who is discussed on "Mom Always Liked You Best!".
