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, ...

Songs of Protest
(1991)

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. ...

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 ...

The Kingston Trio
(1958)
more music like this
by
The Kingston Trio
It's easy to rate the group's debut album too low, since its two best-known songs ("Tom Dooley," "Scotch and Soda") have had no shortage of appearances elsewhere in the decades since, and the group went on to cut more than 20 additional albums in their prime years. A little less polished and accomplished than, say, the music that Terry Gilkyson ...

The Essential Kingston Trio

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As they did with the Nick-Bob-John album, Folk Era has gone back and added the trace of Capitol Records echo-chamber ambience that lent the group's Capitol-era recordings their special resonance. This was a pretty strong album to begin with, some strong songs by Tom Paxton ("Where I'm Bound," "Bottle of Wine") and Rod McKuen ("Rusting in the Rain" ...

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 ...

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 ...

by
The Kingston Trio
String Along has the most unusual sound of any Kingston Trio album, mostly by virtue of the crisp mixing and voicing of the instruments -- guitars and banjo all appear in very high relief, matching the attention usually reserved for the voices on the Kingston Trio's records. The result is a somewhat quieter record, without much presence of the ...

The Kingston Trio had just become superstars when they performed this 12-song set at the Newport Folk Festival. Including well-known features of their repertoire such as "M.T.A.," "Scotch and Soda," and "All My Sorrows," it's a good-sounding and well-executed performance, but only necessary for major fans.
