A NEAR MINT - EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS VERY RARE FOLK NUMBER FROM THE KINGSTON TRIO ON A UK CAPITOL 78

ALL MY SORROWS (ALL MY TRIALS)

b/w M.T.A.

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.

"All My Trials" is a folk song during the social protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s. It is based on a Bahamian lullaby that tells the story of a mother on her death bed, comforting her children, "Hush little baby, don't you cry./You know your mama's bound to die," because, as she explains, "All my trials, Lord,/Soon be over." The message — that no matter how bleak the situation seemed, the struggle would "soon be over" — propelled the song to the status of an anthem, recorded by many of the leading artists of the era.

The song is usually classified as a Spiritual because of its biblical and religious imagery.

 

  • The song was recorded numerous times by folk artists, including Bob Gibson, Pete Seeger, Dave Van Ronk, Anita Carter, Joan Baez,[1] The Seekers,Harry Belafonte, Peter, Paul and Mary,[1] Nick and Gabrielle Drake, The Kelly Family, Cerys Matthews, and Ray Stevens among many others.
    • A version of "All My Sorrows" was also recorded by The Shadows in 1961.
    • A version of "All My Sorrows" was also recorded by The Searchers in 1963, appearing on their Sugar and Spice album.
    • The melody and chord changes were used as the basis of the Brandywine Singers' "Summer's Come And Gone" (Billboard #129, 1963).
    • Dick and Dee Dee released a version of the song as a single in 1964 that reached #89 on the Billboard chart.
    • A fragment of the song is used in the Mickey Newbury anthem "An American Trilogy", also recorded by Elvis Presley.
    • A live version of the song was released as a single by Paul McCartney in 1990 and made into top 40 in UK, reaching as high as #35.
    • Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham did his own version of "All My Sorrows" titled "All My Sorrow" on his 1992 solo album Out of the Cradle

 

  • This version of the song, "All My Sorrows," was made popular by the Kingston Trio, who recorded it in 1959.
