The Kingston Trio
Credited with launching American folk music into mainstream popularity, the legendary Kingston Trio topped the charts in the 1960s with songs from the storytelling Tom Dooley to the humorous Tijuana Jail. While hits such as M.T.A. and Where Have All The Flowers Gone? fit the music-with-a-message era and remain relevant today, part of their charm is that they never take themselves too seriously. The Kingston Trio have won audience’s hearts for decades with tight harmonies, smooth vocals, and classic songs that sound just as good now as ever.
