Thoroughly enjoying this yesteryear moment. I never really paid much attention to the Trio when I was younger despite my diverse listening. There is a fair bit of Christmas music and other religious tributes... but if you are not into that there are still a huge number of other classics. They were incredibly popular in the early days and to their credit have stayed around the music circuit. They were highly influential with their folk songs but also in the pop world of music. I should have paid more attention to them many years ago, but it is never too late to enjoy them today even amongst my heavy rock material....hey, who would have thought that heavy rock would find its way onto adverts not just onto the billboards. So it is just as conceivable that the Trio can find a place in old hard rocker collection.

Was soll man bei Musik denn bewerten??? Musik ist und bleibt Geschmackssache, da hilft auch irgendwie geartete Rezension. Ich kaufe doch keine musikkonserve nach dem Geschmack fremder Menschen ... Sie etwa ???

Une histoire du folk

Je ne connaissais pas ce groupe. il lui manque le son stéréo pour rivaliser avec les Brothers four. Mais à force d'écoute on se prend à les fredonner puis à les chantonner. Etant antérieur aux années cinquante il y a peu de leurs chansons reprises par des chanteurs français. Ces disques ont bien leur place dans ma collection folk.

Still as fresh & powerful as ever

This is a great compilation of their classic albums, some previously unavailable. Every track has been expertly remastered & the sound quality is truly impressive.

These are the first 9 albums, featuring founing member Dave Guard before he left the group in 1961 (though the cover pictures the KT with John Stewart). These songs form the bulk of the classic KT songs & are considered their best work, although after John Stewart replaced Guard they continued making great records until 1967.

The KIngston Trio was the first supergroup. Even before the Beatles, these guys took America by storm, dominating the charts with one hit after another, marking the end of the tired, grey 1950s & providing the ideal youthful soundtrack for the optimistic Kennedy Era. Along with R&B, they sparked the '60s musical revolution that continues to this day.

The Kingston Trio is considered a folk group, but they started out singing Calypso, first at parties, then for beers at local pubs, honing their chops around San Francisco until they landed a one-night gig at the ultra-hip Purple Onion-which lasted several months to standing room only crowds. Word spread & a scout from Capital Records caught their act one night & signed them on the spot.

Though their first album was fairly eclectic, 'Tom Dooley' was a monster hit, so they got labled a folk group even before there was a 'folk' category at the Grammys, where they won a Best Song award. But they really defied categorization; always in search of diverse material, from Caribbean ballads like 'Lemon Tree' & 'Sloop John B' to a humble little lounge number Dave Guard once heard, called 'Scotch & Soda'..

They played folk music among other things, but transcended the folk genre with their fresh, creative, elegant style, strong vocal harmonies, complex arrangements & moving performances that were always intelligent, often irreverent & droll, making them a huge hit on the college circuit.

Slammed during the conservative '50s as a white group who played 'race' music, they did more to introduce ethnic music to white-bread America than any other group at the time. Though they avoided political protest songs at first, as the '60s progressed, their music reflected the strong progressive tide sweeping the country.

Today, the resurgence of interest in their music seems inevitable, since it sounds just as fresh, original & powerful now as it did then.
