Genre : Classic Folk. The Kingston Trio put out 4 (!) albums in 1959 (two were live albums), and Here We Go Again was the last of the quartet of releases. Twelve tracks, only one of which is more than 3 minutes long, and that one was only 3:03. You can buy HWGA as part of a "twofer" at Amazon. But where's the fun in that? I ripped my copy from a monaural LP, which had no skips and a remarkably small number of scratches for a half-century old piece of vinyl. . What's To Like... It doesn't contain any of their big hits, which is a plus to me. The only two tracks that make it to K3 Greatest Hits CD's are Across The Wide Missouri and A Worried Man. As always, there's a wide variety of songs - ballads, banjo-picking rags, spirituals, and humorous tunes. . IMHO, the best of the bunch are : Oleanna (a silly song about a worldwide hit of a song), E Inu Tatou E (a Tahitian drinking ditty, if Google is to be believed); and Goober Peas (a peppy little number about Confederate soldiers who prefer eating to fighting Yanks). . I'm gonzo about The Kingston Trio, so of course I liked Here We Go Again. My LP-to-CD conversion operation was on the fritz for a while; first due to software issues (Windoze-7 doesn't like every Windoze-XP program), and then hardware issues (the turntable decided to cut its sound volume by about 75%). But these have been resolved now, so expect more reviews of obscure and long-forgotten albums in the months to come. 7½ Stars.
Complete Track List : (01) Molly Dee. (02) Across The Wide Missouri. (03) Haul Away. (04) The Wanderer. (05) 'Round About The Mountain. (06) Oleanna. (07) The Unfortunate Miss Bailey. (08) San Miguel. (09) E Inu Tatou E. (10) A Rollin' Stone. (11) Goober Peas. (12) A Worried Man.
