Our Take
Our Take
In the swinging 60s folk scene, where beards were bushy and harmonies were tight, one group reigned supreme: The Kingston Trio. Their latest compilation album, "The Best Of The Kingston Trio," brings together all their greatest hits in one nostalgic package.
From the foot-stomping "Tom Dooley" to the toe-tapping "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", this album is a time machine back to simpler times when folk music ruled the airwaves. The trio's harmonies are as sweet as honey, blending effortlessly to create a sound that is both timeless and unmistakably their own.
But don't be fooled by the laid-back vibe of tracks like "Scotch and Soda" - these guys knew how to have a good time. With playful banter and cheeky lyrics, The Kingston Trio brought a sense of fun and mischief to the folk scene that set them apart from their more serious contemporaries.
So grab your straw hat and your acoustic guitar, and let The Kingston Trio whisk you away to a world where harmonies were tight, beards were bushy, and folk music reigned supreme. Trust us, you won't regret it. Just remember to pack some tissues - these songs are known to bring a tear to the eye.

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.
