In 1957, The Kingston Trio introduced a sound that was destined to revolutionize the recording and entertainment industry, and influence a generation – students, adults, and minors alike.
Their initial success may have been born of chance, but the accomplishments that spiraled them to a level of prominence, and maintained them as the nation’s leading exponent of their unique brand of ‘folk’ music, were their values, their tastes, their diligence, and their over-all responsibility to their art.
Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane, John Stewart, The Kingston Trio are above all, brilliant entertainers…a thoroughly enjoyable act in concert, nightclubs, or in the privacy of your living room. Their gratification comes from pleasing audiences, and from the well-earned knowledge that their unique sound and talent has inspired countless artists and groups that follow in their footsteps.
But the uniqueness of the Kingston Trio is not their sound alone, nor the fact that they crusaded this new field of music and entertainment. Their strength as artists lies in their integrity…in their ever-continuing effort to keep their finger on the pulse beat of the nation – thereby influencing, commenting, and illustrating the elusive values of the modern world.
They feel as responsible to their art as to their ever-growing public. This feeling has sparked the Kingston Trio’s unquenchable thirst for experimentation in new moods, styles, and techniques…this, coupled with their insatiable appetite for fun, has been the formula responsible for their unprecedented successes.
Indeed, Decca Records takes great pleasure in presenting here – with its first Kingston Trio release…Nick, Bob, and John.
