Reviews
Finally someone has written the definitive story of the late '50s/early '60s group that changed American popular music forever. It's fascinating and informative, and it will keep you up way past your bedtime., Guitar expert and folk music aficionado Bush's in-depth biography of the Kingston Trio, one of America's premier folk acts, may not be all that revelatory to devotees, but to those only familiar with hits like Tom Dooley, the group's contributions and resounding legacy may come as a surprise. Drawing from multiple interviews with band members, friends, and family, Bush chronicles the group's quick rise from early performances at cafes and bars to multiplatinum success in the late '50s and '60s. Though hardly members of the Beat Generation, the Kingston Trio cut their teeth in a number of jazz clubs, rubbing elbows with giants like Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, and Dave Brubeck. This exposure helped lay the groundwork for the success sparked by their hit Tom Dooley and opened the door for a litany of other folk performers. Despite a lily-white appearance, the group's live shows were often laced with caustic commentary that lent a vaudevillian aspect to their performances. Readers hoping for a lurid tell-all will find the book to be exceedingly tame; still, this is a warm and fitting appreciation of an act that's often been overshadowed by those who followed in their footsteps., My favorite among this crop of recent material is the long awaited biography of my all-time favorite musical group. William J.Bushe(tm)s Greenback Dollar: The incredible rise of the Kingston Trio tells the story of the act that not only launched Americae(tm)s folk music boom of the 1950e(tm)s and 60e(tm)s, but in its way helped pave the way for the even more phenomenal success in this country of The Beatles.Greenback Dollar is a book that will appeal not only to fans of this group in particular but to students of American pop music in general. This is one I simply cannot recommend highly enough., Greenback Dollar is a major contribution to the history of the folk revival. This volume is especially important considering the central, indeed formative, place of the Kingston Trio within the revival. Bush's biography is deeply informed by his background as a music journalist specializing in acoustic music. He digs into the business and professional life of the group, drawing on primary resources by relying largely on interviews with the surviving members of the Trio and with those who knew them. The greatest strength of this book, by far, is the ready access the author had to his subjects and the lengthy interviews that illuminate numerous issues in the Trio's tumultuous history. Another aspect of this biography that is especially welcome is the attention paid to the Trio's various bassists, who were often at least as, if not more, musically sophisticated than the Trio members themselves (e.g., p. 88 on David 'Bucky' Wheat). . . .This book is an important contribution to the history of the folk revival, and deserves a place in any comprehensive music collection. As a history, however, it is a starting point that will provide a strong, if sometimes flawed, foundation for future research into the social context of the Trio, the copious primary literature surrounding the group and other folk revival performers, and the political, social, and musical aspects of the Trio's legacy., After the huge success of Elvis Presley there was a moment when it looked as if rock 'n' roll might, indeed, be nothing more than a fad. Its successor in the world of popular music would be folk music, and its undisputed leader was the Kingston Trio. In Greenback Dollar: The Incredible Rise of the Kingston Trio William J. Bush details the history of this landscape altering band. In it, Bush details the biographies of, first, the original three members of the band - Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane, and Dave Guard - and their meteoric rise to fame from 1958 through 1961. He then tells of the falling out and eventual replacement of Guard with John Stewart and the continued artistic and commercial success of the band through the sixties. Along the way, Bush (a friend of all the members of these two incarnations of the band) describes the important places and events that led to the massive popularity that followed the Trio. So rock music never did fade away, but the influence of folk, thanks in large part to the Kingston Trio, became an integral part of popular music for decades to come., This is a thrilling biography of one of America's greatest folk singer groups. A book that will be enjoyed by the baby boomer generation and others who enjoy folk music singing groups., The whole story is told in Greenback Dollar, and it's a good one: conflict, joy, suspense, manipulation, poor management decisions, the ups and downs of a show business career. It's all here and all spelled out. . . .An additional bonus is the author's complete and detailed discussion of each of the Trio's albums, along with a look at the technical things that made their sound unique., Finally someone has written the definitive story of the late e~50s/early e~60s group that changed American popular music forever.
