Movie Reviews of The Kingston Trio Story - Wherever We May Go
Movie Review: WHEREVER WE MAY GO is the complete analogy of the music, life and times of the founding fathers of Folk Music THE KNGSTON TRIO
Summary: 5 Stars
Bob Shane is now the last surviving founding member of "THE KINGSTON TRIO" (Dave Guard co-founder passed in 1991, John Stewart Jan 2008 and Nick Reynolds co-founder Oct 2008). The original Trio with Dave, Bob and Nick was from 1957-1961 and then Dave left and John joined and stayed until 1967 they disbanded the group and went into retirement. Shortly after Bob formed THE NEW KINGSTON TRIO and continued their legacy which is still performing today.
The greatest impacting musical group (before the BEATLES) to begin a whole new genre of music to the masses, FOLK MUSIC. Before Dylan, Baez or Peter, Paul and Mary. In 1957 Bob Shane, Dave Guard and Nick Reynolds formed the Trio and in 1958 recorded "TOM DOOLEY" winning a GRAMMY and establishing the Folk Music category and the rest is history!
This DVD through music, interviews, concerts, videos and more track the 50 plus year history of this incredible group. A must have collectors addition to your musical DVD library.
There are several KINGSTON TRIO DVD's which are all fun and memorable but "WHEREVER WE MAY GO" is the best of them all. So if you want to see what "THE KINGSTON TRIO" was and is all about you've come to the right place.
Included are 18 of the Trio's greatest hits and the plus SPECIAL FEATURES run for over an additional 90 mins loaded with all kinds of background info plus the rare family tree-o photos.
Buy it now and enjoy the trio. I bet you'll even buy some of their 24 record albums digitalized onto CD's of the classical folk music. I did, so sit back and enjoy once again "THE KINGSTON TRIO Story, Wherever we may go".
Summary of The Kingston Trio Story - Wherever We May Go
In 1958 three young men known as The Kingston Trio recorded a simple folk tune called "Tom Dooley." In less than a year, they were major stars with the best-selling album in the country. The Kingston Trio Story: Wherever We May Go celebrates the group's musical hits and sheds light on their fascinating and largely unknown 50-year history through rare performance footage and revealing interviews with band members and friends.From singing for beer in student bars 50 years ago to sold-out concerts around the world today, The Kingston Trio Story is an exciting and emotional testimony to the group's undeniable impact, taking us through all the shakeups, breakups, changing faces and reunions of the group responsible for the revival of folk music in America.

Calling the Kingston Trio "the Beatles of their time," as one of the talking heads in The Kingston Trio Story - Wherever We May Go puts it, might sound outlandish, but in fact it's no exaggeration. Starting in 1957 (and continuing today, albeit without any original members), the Trio brought folk music to the masses long before Dylan, Baez, or Peter, Paul and Mary made the scene, and many of their songs ("Tom Dooley," "M.T.A.," "Scotch & Soda," "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?") remain just about as popular as "Blowin' in the Wind." TV and concert performances of those and other tunes are here, of course, along with interviews with most of the musicians who passed through the group's ranks and other folks who knew, worked with, or are related to them. The emphasis, as it should be, is on their first ten years, during which Bob Shane and Nick Reynolds were partnered with Dave Guard and then John Stewart (when Guard departed in '61, one of those who auditioned to replace him was Roger McGuinn, who later co-founded the Byrds). They were not only hugely successful, but ground-breaking as well; the Trio dabbled in pop, calypso, Hawaiian, and other styles before anyone called it "world music," and when they won a Grammy for "Tom Dooley" in '58, there was no such thing as a folk music category, resulting in their being classified as country & western. Sure, in these hipster times their music sounds pretty square. Although they emerged during the beatnik era, the Trio's image was wholesome and Ivy League, and many of the songs are over-earnest tales of lusty men traveling the road to freedom. Still, Wherever We May Go is entertaining and informative, and the copious bonus features--including pieces on the stories behind the songs, the group's extensive "family tree," some passionate and slightly nutty fans, and their manager, plus bonus performances and more--are top-notch. --Sam Graham
