FLAC tracks | Country, Folk, Acoustic | 00:38:11 | 210 MbIn 1964, the Kingston Trio left Capitol Records, apparently miffed that newer rock groups like the Beatles and the Beach Boys were taking a higher priority in the A&R department.

They signed with Decca Records and released their first album with the new label, Nick-Bob-John, by the end of the year.

Unlike the Trio’s later Decca material, there’s not much of a pop influence on Nick-Bob-John; aside from a handful of folky John Stewart originals and a pair of new outside tracks, including “More Poems” by a pre-“Classical Gas” Mason Williams,” the lineup consists of stripped-down versions of folk classics like the standard “Midnight Special” and “Long Time Blues.

” The collegiate folk boom was winding down by late 1964, but Nick-Bob-John shows that the Kingston Trio were still at the top of their game.
