About The Record:

Here We Go Again, by Kingston Trio, released in 1959, is a pivotal album in the American folk music revival, showcasing their signature blend of folk and pop that helped popularize the genre. The album, which spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Pop chart and earned an RIAA gold certification, reflects the Trio’s commercial peak during a time when they dominated the charts with four albums in the Top 10 simultaneously. Standout tracks include A Worried Man, which reached No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and San Miguel, both featured as the lead-off single, though the non-album single Coo Coo-U b/w Green Grasses did not chart. The album’s production, utilizing Capitol’s echo chamber and “double-voicing” technique, gave it a distinctive, resonant sound that set it apart from other folk recordings of the era. Tracks like Molly Dee, written by future member John Stewart, and their rendition of Across the Wide Missouri (a version of Oh Shenandoah) highlight the Trio’s ability to blend original and traditional folk material.
