Presenting the New Christy Minstrels, also known as Exciting New Folk Chorus,[nb 1] is the debut studio album by the acoustic American folk music group the New Christy Minstrels. It was recorded in mid-April 1962 and released by Columbia Records in October 1962.[3]

Presenting the New Christy Minstrels won a Grammy Award for Best Performance by a Chorus in 1962 and occupied the Billboard 200 album chart for two years, peaking at number 19.[4][5] The album included a cover version of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land", which entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1962.[6]

The album, along with the group's next, The New Christy Minstrels in Person, was reissued on a single CD, with two bonus tracks, by Collectors' Choice Music in 2003 under the title Presenting & In Person.[7]
