Description

AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS GREAT FOLK NUMBER FROM THE KINGSTON TRIO ON A UK CAPITOL 78

The Kingston Trio was formed in 1957 in the Palo Alto, California area by Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds who were just out of college. Greatly influenced by The Weavers, the calypso sounds of Harry Belafonte and other folk artists such as the Gateway Singers and the Tarriers, they were discovered playing at a Menlo College-area club, the Cracked Pot, by Frank Werber, a publicist then working at San Francisco's "Hungry i" nightclub. He became their manager, and secured them a one-shot recording contract with Capitol Records. Shane would later tell concert audiences that the group first considered itself primarily a calypso group, and therefore named itself after the capital of Jamaica.

The group's first hit was a catchy rendition of a traditional folk song, "Tom Dooley", based upon the life of the tragic figure, Tom Dula; it earned a gold record in 1958.

In the UK the song was copied by Lonnie Donegan who had a bigger hit with it getting it to Number 3 but for me this is stilll the best version...

(Frank Warner/John Lomax/Alan Lomax

(Spoken recitation over musical accompaniment)
Throughout history, there have been many songs written about the eternal triangle. This next one tells the story of Mister Grayson, a beautiful woman, and a condemned man named Tom Dooley. When the sun rises tomorrow, Tom Dooley must hang.

Chorus:
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley. Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley. Poor boy, you're bound to die.

I met her on the mountain. There I took her life. Met her on the mountain. Stabbed her with my knife.

(Chorus)

This time tomorrow. Reckon where I'll be. Hadn't-a been for Grayson, I'd-a been in Tennessee.

(Chorus)

This time tomorrow. Reckon where I'll be. Down in some lonesome valley hangin' from a white oak tree.

(Chorus)

 

B SIDE:-  RUBY RED
