Greatest Hits

CD Details

The Kingston Trio was a folk group that became central to the pop-folk movement of the late 1950s and 1960s. Formed by David Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds, the trio brought together complementary musical talents: Guard’s open-G Hawaiian guitar and banjo work, Shane’s clear lead vocals influenced by Harry Belafonte, and Reynolds’ steady guitar and signature harmonies. Their 1958 recording of “Tom Dooley” became a massive hit, selling over three million copies as a single and launching the broader folk music boom of the era.
