Artist:  The Kingston Trio

Title:  …from the "Hungry i"

Date:  1959

Label:  Capitol Records  T 1107

Cover:  Frank Page

Notes:  This recording comes to us live from Enrico Bandicci's Hungry i. The venerable San Francisco club featured some of the best in folk music, comedy and intellectual discussion. This set by the Trio is full of classics such as "Southcoast" and "The Merry Minuet" and more. Never has the combination of vocals, guitars and banjo worked so well as when these guys get all spun up. Whether they're singing about politics, social issues or love's lost lament they do it beautifully. The Trio left us a wealth of recordings in their wake and all are worth investigating. The artwork is not credited on the cover, but it's a great cartoon depiction of the San Francisco area. It was re-released with the same cover in July 1979 (Capitol M 11068).
