| The
words "Something Special" have applied
to every Kingston Trio album that was ever made.
But here is a very, very
special album -- one that has a distantly
different over-all sound from its predecessors. Oh, the familiar Kingston Trio sound and
style are here all right: the boys singing,
either together or in solos, and playing their
own accompaniments as before. This time, however,
their voices and instruments are set against
larger-scaled backgrounds arranged and conducted
by Jimmie Haskell, and the result (did we say?)
is something special.
For further variety of interest,
the orchestrations are of two types -- brass,
woodwinds and strings forming the background on
some of the tunes; just strings with rhythm on
others -- and a richly blended chorus is added on
several selections.
A word about who does what:
Nick Reynolds is the soloist in Little Boy and
is also featured in One More Town. Bob
Shane takes the solo in She Was Too Good To
Me, and John Stewart the one in Portland
Town. John is featured twice more, in O
Willow Wally and Strange Day.
