Professional Review:
By 1958 "Tom Dooley" was already in circulation in the growing folk movement, but it was the Kingston Trio's hit that ignited the boom. These three clean-cut Hawaii residents may not have looked like accomplished musicians, but they were. David Guard first learned the open-G Hawaiian guitar and took up the banjo after a Weaver's concert; lead singer Bob Shane was much influenced by Harry Belefonte, and he sang with studied clarity; and Nick Reynolds contributed steady, old-timey guitar and signature harmony. Most of what the neophyte needs is here: "Tom Dooley," "Greenback Dollar," and the Carter Family tune, "Worried Man." --Roy Francis Kasten

   Summary: Great 50s Hits
Great sound of the fifties the Kingston Trio were among the hottest musicians of the era! Give it a listen and share my high!

 Rating 5   Written on December 10, 2005
   Summary: Three fine folkies
Despite what the insert notes, and the group's official website claim, the Kingston Trio did not really launch the folk revival (Lonnie Donegan had already had a major hit with Rock Island Line in 1956) but you could say they revved it up and sent it full steam ahead. The trio -- old school and college friends -- emerged in 1957 in San Francisco and, nearly 50 years later, are still going, although of course with none of the original members.

Their greatest influences were The Weavers and Harry Bellafonte, both these influences clearly apparent in this collection. They gave traditional music a smoother sound and added some college-boy humor and a touch of innocuous, fifties style rebellion. This resulted in great live performances and soon secured them a wider audience through their recordings. In turn this music would lead to the full-blown folk-pop of Peter, Paul & Mary, The New Christy Minstrels, et al.

They were performers, not writers, except that Dave Guard co-wrote A Worried Man and solo-wrote Scotch and Soda. This latter song is very different from the others, being the sort of ballad that could have been (and probably has been) sung by Sinatra or Como or one of the other crooners of the day.

This is a bargain-priced CD giving you all the hits of the original lineup and if you are even remotely a folk fan you will want to hear it.

   Summary: good old songs
I leave in France and I've bought this record after i heard it in a movie. Three songs have been translated in france and are well known. Good time with the good old time.
