About this album

The Best Of The Kingston Trio is a concise showcase of the group’s polished folk-pop sound at the height of its popularity. Drawing together signature songs such as Tom Dooley, M.T.A. and Where Have All The Flowers Gone?, the compilation highlights the trio’s crisp harmonies, clean acoustic arrangements and knack for turning traditional and contemporary material into mainstream hits. The Kingston Trio were central to the late-1950s and early-1960s folk revival, helping bring folk music to a wide pop audience and paving the way for later singer-songwriter movements. This collection distils why they became one of the era’s most commercially successful and influential vocal groups.
