Unreleased The Kingston Trio Recordings Coming

06/28/07
. (PR) Collectors� Choice Music has announced plans to issue a series of unreleased Kingston Trio recordings, beginning with an ending: the last appearance by the Trio�s second classic roster � Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane and John Stewart � at the legendary San Francisco venue the Hungry i on June 17, 1967. The Kingston Trio: Nick, Bob & John � The Final Concert provides a 14-song overview of the folk group�s 10-year career, and though it was the last show these three played as the Kingston Trio, it was not a somber occasion by any means but a celebration, full of onstage antics and humor at the expense of friends in the audience. Release date is set for July 17, 2007.

The Kingston Trio rode the wave of the folk revival of the late �50s and early �60s. Though some purists then and now may have found the Trio (and their progeny, such as the Limeliters and the Highwaymen) a mite clean and laughably earnest (see A Mighty Wind), their contribution to the popularization of folk music is undeniable.

In the BSS era (Before Singer-Songwriters), the Kingston Trio applied their pure and reverent sound to the songs of Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Pete Seeger and Hoyt Axton among others, spreading the gospel of folk music to the masses. Among their hits were the traditional �Tom Dooley,� Seeger�s �Where Have All the Flowers Gone?� and Axton and Ken Ramsey�s �Greenback Dollar.� The Trio also charted with some of their own material, such as the Guard-Tom Glazer tune �A Worried Man.�
