- Nick Reynolds, original and founding member of The Kingston Trio, passed away on the evening of October 1, 2008 in San Diego, CA. He and the Trio are my heroes. I'm a lifelong fan, and this is one of my favorite solo tunes by Nick. Rest in peace you dear, sweet man.
Thanks for posting. Truly.

(Nick's eldest son)
This is the first I've heard of any of their kids. Do you sing? I had an old radio up the the attic of our old house in the Bitterroot valley of Montana. It would pick up stations from the mystery land of California and one night "Tom Dooley" came on. I loved it and from then on I love the trio's music and have sung many of their songs. My uncle had been a hobo so maybe that's why this is one of my favorites.
I was so happy to see Nick rejoin the Kingston Trio, and then had the honor of sitting down with him to shoot the breeze after a concert. Though we only were together for minutes, Nick made me feel like a long time friend. Goodbye my friend.
I want to thank the person who posted this video of Nick. Hoboes Lullyabye wa one of his very favorite songs I am told. My wife and I had coffee with Nick near his home in Coronado back in 2001. Nick was just a great, approachable, nice guy. I can't begin to tell you how Nick, Dave and bob influenced my life back in the 50's. I would not be playing guitar and banjo if it were not for these three guys who changed musical history. We will miss you Nick.
God bless you and your family.
I met Nick after he rejoined the trio, for a concert in Omaha. I walked up to him and said, "I do believe it's the man who taught me harmony!" Then, Nick got a big smile on his face and introduced himself, but I told him he didn't need to, as I knew a hero when I saw one. He truly was "the glue" of The Kingston Trio. Everybody loved and respected him.
I grew up listening to the Kingston Trio and admired Nick Reynolds especially. Decades later I was in Coronado, CA on business, catching a cab to the airport. The cabbie said he not only knew Nick Reynolds, he regarded him as a personal friend. So I thought: This says so much about Nick and his way of relating to those of us who are neither gifted nor famous. How I envied that cab driver! .
thanks so much for this post. Just by luck, I saw Nick and Bob several years ago at a great old lodge in The Thousand Islands....an intimate room and Nick sang this song. It just melted my heart...it still does...I love Nick and the Trio and I love this song!!
Never thought much about him as a solo vocalist- love his voice! He had great pitch and a pleasing tone. I grew up on the Trio! Like so many of us older players, they are the reason I own and play guitars today.
Nick also played, at least on one album an eight string (tenor?) guitar. I remember seeing it a being so surprised. Each of the Trio had their distinctive sound and Nick to me had a velvet voice that I loved. From the first time I ever heard the Trio I was hooked. I'll always be a fan of theirs and never be able to pick just one favorite song although"They Call The Wind Maria" with Nick singing lead was for the longest time. What and enduring group.
Shane sang Maria, not Nick.
@@demef758 You're right. Interesting enough on one live CD we can hear Nick singing a few notes of Maria of West Side Story , as a joke after the song sung by Bob. On the song he plays conga drums .
How great this was posted. As for Nick? He was my favorite and I'm sure heavens band is grateful for his tenor guitar and his wonderful voice. I can just hear him and Sam Cooke duetting They Call The Wind Mariah now. Hope to see you when I get there Nick, I want to shake your hand and thank you for sharing your many gifts with us for so many years.
sensei48 is right on. My dad did not play a baritone ukelele.
The great Nick Reynolds. ❤
In an interview Nick said they didn't often perform the song because it was a bit too heavy for the show they used to do.
This song was written by a real hobo, Goebel Reeves. His family was very well off, but he shucked it all and traveled across the country being a hobo and singing for his meals. His songs are still available on the web.
Nick is sorely missed. Was lucky enough to see him twice with the Trio in the mid-1990s.
Just a gentle, genial, nice man. Nick was loved by those who met him, who knew him well, and by millions who knew him only from recordings. I once spent an evening in his company after a concert. Nick Reynolds glowed warmth. God bless him. He lives in our fond memories.
Thanks so much for posting. Would like to see more of this concert
In the early 1990's George and I, lifetime fans and members of a Trio Tribute Band in the 60's called the Balladeers, snuck backstage at a Trio concert at Ward Melville High School. We told the folks that we were with the Hospitality Staff...later that night, Nick Reynolds joined my wife, George and I at a local pub for a few beers. The man who'd once been on the cover of Life Magazine was sitting and enjoying himself with middle-aged doting fans. Nick was the Heart of the Kingston Trio for me.
They (Kingston Trio) started me on the road with a Martin 00018 and a lot of lyrics, chords and funr. Dave Guard, Nicky, Jon Stewart - gone but not forgotten.
Great! A performance from the heart"..Nice to hear his 4 string tenor guitar by itself.Sleep well, little Nicky.
He likes to capo it up high for a unique sound.
Thanks, UncleDon8! At least you were pro-active enough to create that opportunity! "Way-to-go!"
Nick was the best and such a great guy!
Well done, great version Rip
Thank you! I didn't know this one.
So glad to see Nick Reynolds performing full concert with Bob Shane! just discovered the program.
Ótimo muito bom. 💖💖🌼🌷
Amen to that.
Loved him most amongst the three!
@YeahRightInc Tenor guitar? That's a baritone ukulele
Oh, let’s see if I can contribute my knowledge of playing the Tenor Banjo & Ukulele...Nick appears to playing a Tenor Guitar - judging by the size of the body & neck (and 4 strings) - however, he has it tuned to a Ukulele (A-D-F#-B), judging by the chords he is using...and playing it very well, I must say.
@@robertsmith1860 Nick's guitar here is an O-18T Martin, tuned like a guitar, not a uke. Hobo Lullaby is in D (vs. E flat originally), and he is capoed at the 7th fret.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the Kingston Trio. I own many of their albums. I've seen them in concert. They were a major force in American music, but this song sucks! Who wrote this drivel? This song is one of the reasons the Beatles pushed folk music off of the charts. "Go to sleep you weary hobo." C'mon.
Hey Bucko--This was Woody Guthries' favorite song. So--go bite a big one!
Written by Goebel Reeves from a 19th century Civil War song. Reeves would sing a few verses that many never sang. Frequently played on the country music stations, Woody Guthrie would sing it often that many think he wrote it.
