The Essential Kingston Trio

The Essential Kingston Trio (2006) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio were the planet's most successful vocal group from 1958 until around 1962, and if they didn't exactly start the urban folk revival, they were instrumental in its sudden accessibility, as labels scrambled to sign up every acoustic player in sight to cash in on the Trio's marketability. This was a group that placed four albums ...

The Greatest Hits [Curb] (1990) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

Greatest Hits collects 12 tracks recorded during the Kingston Trio's tenure with Capitol Records in the '50s and '60s, including the original versions of "Tom Dooley," "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" "A Worried Man," and "Scotch and Soda." This collection is a good bargain for the budget-conscious. Al Campbell, All Music Guide

Nick, Bob & John: The Final Concert (2007) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

Founded in 1957, the Kingston Trio brought an accessible and commercial face to the emerging folk revival, and while the group was frequently criticized for their complete lack of authenticity in the face of real traditional music, there is no denying that without their frequent presence on the pop charts into the early '60s, the folk revival ...

Capitol Collectors Series

Capitol Collectors Series (1990) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

The first serious compilation of the Kingston Trio's work is broader than any of the various "best of" albums that ever showed up on LP, although it also lacks some important tracks that were on those 12" discs ("Take Her Out of Pity" is especially missed). The Dave Guard era is especially well represented and at the time of this disc's release, ...

Sold Out/String Along (1992) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

By 1959, the Kingston Trio had reached mass popularity, won a Grammy, and had even begun to record their music in stereo. While their reign as the world's most popular folk act remained unchallenged, many within the folk community were critical of the group. Writers in magazines like Sing Out! argued that the trio's music had little to do with ...

Make Way/Goin' Places

Make Way/Goin' Places (1992) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

While a modern-day listener may find folk music somewhat simple in content and approach, these factors were exactly what made the music so appealing in the late '50s and early '60s. No more than a guitar and a voice were needed to set forth ballads of love and murder. To many youths of the time, the music contrasted sharply with the materialism of ...

New Frontier/Time to Think

New Frontier/Time to Think (2000) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

These two albums paired on one CD make for a strange pair of bookends, since the title song of The New Frontier was John Stewart's salute to the Kennedy era and the penultimate song on Time to Think was Stewart's memorial to the late president. The mix of songs is extremely diverse and, if not the group's ideal repertory, shows off their ability ...

A mammoth four-CD, 107-song box set of their most famous and commercially successful work, recorded for Capitol between the late 1950s and mid-'60s. All of the big hits are here, as well as key album cuts and a whopping 33 previously unreleased studio and live tracks. Collectors will appreciate the inclusion of rarities by related groups like Dave ...

The Kingston Trio/...From the "Hungry i" [Capitol] (1992) more music like this

Capitol's From the "Hungry I"/Kingston Trio combines the group's first two albums on this excellent single disc. Among the highlights are "Bay of Mexico, " "Tom Dooley, " "Fast Freight, " "Hard, Ain't It Hard, " "Scotch and Soda, " "Wimoweh" and "New York Girls." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Songs of Protest (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

Of course there are too many noteworthy songs of protest to fit onto one collection, even (or especially) if you're limiting yourself to the '60s, as Rhino does on this compilation. Still, it does a good job of mixing monster hits by Barry McGuire, Sonny Bono, Dion, the Kingston Trio, the Temptations, and Edwin Starr with more obscure cuts. ...

by The Kingston Trio

The first two Kingston Trio albums from the John Stewart-era in the group's history, paired together on one CD. The two albums (both of which reached number three on the charts in 1961 and 1962, respectively) represented a look forward and back, introducing some gorgeous new songs by Stewart on the studio album and adding fresh interpretations of ...

...From the "Hungry I" (1959) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio's self-titled debut album, recorded in early 1958, had been successful in capturing their range, but not the excitement or the good humor that the group generated on-stage. Their second LP, recorded live at the Hungry i in San Francisco on August 15 and 16, 1958, just a few days after the debut LP's release, captured a better ...

The Best of the Decca Years (1998) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

By the time the Kingston Trio ended up on Decca in early 1964, they were already established stars of the folk music set. But as a commercial entity, they had arguably peaked, losing original member Dave Guard and replacing him with John Stewart. But the group soldiered on for four more studio albums and the best of it is collected here on this 16 ...

This Land Is Your Land: Songs of Freedom (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Although this is a fairly good compilation of songs, mostly well-known, from the 1950s and (mostly) 1960s folk revival, the common threads between the tunes are vaguer than what the title might portend. Indeed, some of these 16 tracks are specific songs of freedom and struggle: Cisco Houston's "This Land Is Your Land," the Weavers' "If I Had a ...

by The Kingston Trio

Mail-order label Collectors' Choice Music licensed two albums from EMI-Capitol Music Special Markets by the Kingston Trio's second lineup of Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds, and John Stewart on this two-fer release. Something Special was originally released in the summer of 1962 and found Stewart, the replacement for original member Dave Guard, well ...

Kingston Trio #16/Sunny Side! (2000) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

The pairing of these two albums makes sense in that they followed each other very closely in recording date (early/middle 1963) and also in the choice of material ("Desert Pete" from Sunny Side! was a conscious attempt to emulate the success of "Reverend Mr. Black" from Kingston Trio #16). The strength of Kingston Trio #16 more than makes up for ...

The Kingston Trio/...From the "Hungry i" [Collector's Choice] (2001) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

Like the Weavers before them, the Kingston Trio set the pace for the folk revival of the late '50s and early '60s. Bands like the Highwaymen, the New Christy Minstrels, and Peter, Paul & Mary were inspired by the group's complex harmony, song choices, and general sunny disposition. The Kingston Trio, the band's first studio effort, unleashed the ...

The Kingston Trio at Large/Here We Go Again! [Collectors' Choice] (2001) more music like this

The licensing and reissue gurus at Collectors' Choice Music wisely picked up this Kingston Trio two-fer, which Capitol Records originally released in 1992 before deleting it from their catalog several years later. As the Kingston Trio at Large (1959) and Here We Go Again! (1959) collectively occupied the top spot on the 1959 LP chart for half the ...

Children of the Morning was the final studio album by the Kingston Trio in its original continuity -- they recorded a live album that Decca Records declined to release, which was eventually licensed to Tetragrammaton Records, but this was their last new work. At the time, as is recalled in the notes, music was changing around them almost faster ...
