Customer Reviews:
Surprised at the quality.......2001-08-28
I was quite excited to receive this album, but was disappointed with the quality of the recordings and of John's vocals. Perhaps he was attempting to affect a style that was a departure from the original music, but at times the departure is a little too much. I did enjoy listening to the great writing that John does (as always). John's unique songwriting skills will never be duplicated.
Unfortunately a Disappointment.......2001-05-09
If you thought that this album included tasty updated versions of John Stewarts best Kingston Trio compositions, you might want to reconsider. No question these are different (entirely) versions of his earlier material (at times nearly unrecognizable), but the problems are several. Firstly, the arrangements are weak and don't allow the material to soar, as it did in the original versions. The use of drum machines begin to annoy and synthesized banjo's (in Road to Freedom) simply don't cut it. Recording quality is muddy and seem to be of home-studio quality. Some interesting guitar work in spots, but most disappointing is John's vocal performance. It's sad to hear what was once a wonderful, distinctive voice slipping away. This album is a bit of an oddity and is definitely for hard core fans only. If you're interested in hearing his best Kingston Trio work, buy the original albums. They are sold in a two albums for the price of one format, are inexpensive to buy and showcase the material the way it was meant to be played, with great recording, arranging and performances. Sorry to be so harsh John, but I'm still a fan!

Songs from his formative years sound better than ever!.......1999-06-21
The Kingston Trio were certainly not some of the great musicians of their time, and the songs John Stewart wrote have not, until now, proved to be of lasting value. John Stewart, however, has re-recorded them using sparse and very tasteful arrangements. And it proves to be one of his best albums ever! "Those Who Are Wise", "New Frontier" and "One More Town" in particular, are standouts--but in fact, there isn't a bad one on the whole album. And at an incredibly low bargain basement price, it makes an excellent introduction to John Stewart, as well as a special treat for old fans like myself.
Classic John Stewart Minus the "Willowy" Trio Voice.......1999-06-08
I first heard this CD about two years ago and have returned to listen many times. While the "willowy" voice has all but disappeared, some of the old harmony is here - I believe you'll find Nick Reynolds singing backup; as usual with JS, the inflection and incantation of the lyrics convey the message. As a 20-something said to me at a JS Concert a few years ago, "You guys sure had some good tunes back in the 60's." And some good tunesmiths as well!
