The Kingston Trio was one of the biggest pop acts of the late ’50s and early ’60s, with no less than 14 Billboard Top Ten albums, including five that reached Number One. The two-time Grammy® award-winning group jump-started the folk movement, with hits such as "Scotch and Soda" and "Tom Dooley" paving the way for artists such as Peter, Paul & Mary, The Highwaymen, The Limelighters, and Bob Dylan.
The Essential Kingston Trio collects 40 of the group’s biggest hits and fan favorites, all recorded during their prime years of 1958 to 1964.
