Album Review

String Along is an album by the Kingston Trio, released in 1960 (see 1960 in music). It was their fifth studio album in a row to reach number one on the Billboard charts and remained there for ten weeks. String Along received an RIAA gold certification in 1962, a year after Dave Guard had left the group. It was the last LP of the Trio to reach the number one spot. Two singles, ''Bad Man Blunder'' b/w ''The Escape of Old John Webb'' and ''Everglades'' b/w ''This Mornin', This Evenin', So Soon'', were released. Both were the last singles of the ''Guard years'' Trio to chart, ''Bad Man Blunder'' the last to reach the Top 40.

''The Escape of Old John Webb'' is an old English folk song and was deliberately recorded in an attempt to increase the Trio's popularity in Great Britain.

''Bad Man's Blunder'' (with its title shortened to ''Bad Man Blunder'' for single release) was issued on 45 without the final words ''Bang, you're dead'' included on the sub-master, a decision made by producer Voyle Gilmore.

Dave Guard played Gibson's first 12-string guitar on this album. [wikipedia.org]
