Our Take

Ah, the Kingston Trio - the OG hipsters of the folk scene. This collection of essential early recordings is like taking a trip down memory lane in a groovy VW camper van.

From the iconic harmonies to the infectious banjo riffs, this album is a time capsule of the golden age of folk music. Tracks like "Tom Dooley" and "Scotch and Soda" will have you swaying in your hemp tunic and dreaming of a simpler time when the only thing on your mind was peace, love, and protest songs.

The Trio's effortless blend of traditional folk tunes and witty original compositions makes for a truly timeless listening experience. They were the original cool kids of the coffeehouse scene, and it's easy to see why - their music is as charming and catchy as a catchy folk tune should be.

So grab your acoustic guitar, put on your best beanie hat, and give this album a spin. You'll be transported back to a time when men wore turtlenecks unironically and everyone was just trying to make the world a better place, one catchy folk ballad at a time. Trust me, you'll be feeling like a beatnik poet in no time.

About the artist

The Kingston Trio

In the turbulent seas of 1950s America, a folk trio emerged like a buoyant beacon of harmonious hope. With banjos strumming, guitars twanging, and harmonies intertwining, the Kingston Trio set sail on a musical journey that would define an era. Formed in 1957 by Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds, this dynamic trio quickly captured the hearts of music lovers with their infectious energy and infectious tunes. From the playful melodies of "Tom Dooley" to the poignant storytelling of "Scotch and Soda," the Kingston Trio masterfully blended traditional folk music with a contemporary twist. But don't be fooled by their whimsical charm and catchy choruses - the Kingston Trio weren't afraid to tackle weighty subjects. Songs like "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" and "Greenback Dollar" shed light on social and political issues, earning the trio a reputation for both musical prowess and thought-provoking lyricism. Decades may have passed since their heyday, but the Kingston Trio's influence can still be felt in the music world today. Countless artists have cited them as a major inspiration, proving that good music knows no expiration date. So grab your closest friends, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let the sounds of the Kingston Trio wash over you like a wave of nostalgia. Their music may be rooted in the past, but their impact is timeless. All hail the kings of folk, the legendary Kingston Trio.
