Before a scruffy-looking young man called Bob Dylan and the pure-voiced Joan Baez were crowned its king and queen, the biggest stars of the US folk music revival were the Kingston Trio. Nick Reynolds sang the middle part of the trio’s clean-cut triple harmonies and added polite percussion to their hit versions of songs such as Tom Dooley and Where Have All the Flowers Gone.
The Kingston Trio’s Nick Reynolds with his trademark tenor guitar. Nick Reyonolds, a founding member of The Kingston Trio, one of the most influential musical groups in modern history, died on Thursday in San Diego. He was 75. His obituary will show that Reynolds, Bob Shane, and Dave Guard started the trio in the late 1950’s, achieving [...]
I heard the song "Diamonds and Rust" by Joan Baez for the first time recently. It's brilliant. Know how with some songs, you sort of hear it, and then later you actually listen to it? When I heard this song, I went right down the road with it and never missed a word. Something that strikes me about this...the imagery in here is so different than today. There are generations now that can't
Kingston Trio co-founder Reynolds dies: Nick Reynolds, a founding member of the Kingston Trio who jump-started the revival folk scene of the late 1950s and paved the way for artists such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, has died. He was 75. Now some of you might find it odd that someone who listens to AC/DC [...]
I can't believe I'm reading this: For a sweet change, this won't be the kind of shake-up that has twice before followed Marlins success -- a fire sale to drastically cut player payroll. That is the one benefit of being...
I’ve been so busy and distracted lately that I neglected to mention my minor contribution to The 9th Annual Woodtsock Film Festival that is currently taking place in Woodstock, New York October 1-5. Most people are familiar with Woodstock thanks to the infamous music festival that was held there in 1969. The 3 day concert featured [...]
I spent a wonderful evening watching Joan Baez at the Royal Albert Hall in the company of my friend and former housemate Pablo and his groovy mother. It was marred slightly by navigational error, which made me an hour late and caused me to miss out on dinner. I committed the rookie mistake of following a road sign rather than trusting to the route I had carefully planned using Streetmap, and thus I...
I like folk music because it matters. Woody Guthrie and Stan Rogers and Bob Dyan are saying something. It’s the opposite of bubblegum pop and brainless rawk (both of which I also like, but for different reasons). Tonight I was at the Royal Albert Hall to see one of the great legends of folk: Joan Baez. The [...]
Stephanie Bettman Get Close to Me Stephanie Bettman is a fiddle player, songwriter, and singer whose work might be closest to country music — indeed might fit well in many country playlists — but whose sound and style also brings in touches of jazz, folk, and bluegrass. Her voice is an interesting contrast and compliment to the [...]
The seventies folk singer Joan Baez, famous for her political activism and love-affair with Bob Dylan as well as her friendship with Martin Luther King, comes to Glasgow with her new album, The Day After Tomorrow. Having recorded in eight languages on30 albums and performed publicly for more than 50 years it's safe to assume that 67- year old Baez will still put on a good show. • Glasgow Royal Concert...
RATING: (WILD APPLAUSE) From the start of the aborted three-year run of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," Tom and Dick Smothers wrangled with CBS censors. In the end, CBS canceled the show, but that only made the boys cultural martyrs and re-enforced...
Being at home is more exhausting than being on tour. When I'm travelling I can put up a "Do Not Disturb" sign, unplug the phone and not worry that I'm responsible for everything. That I like.
