- Nick Reynolds (1933-2008) of the original Kingston Trio performs a vocal solo accompanied by Triomates Dave Guard and Bob Shane on guitars and David Wheat on bass. The song is a reworking by Irving Burgie of the American folk tune "900 Miles." Burgie is best known as "The Father of Modern Calypso," having written 34 songs recorded by Harry Belafonte, including eight of the eleven on Belafonte's landmark "Calypso" album of 1956, the first album ever to sell a certified million copies. "Day-O [The Banana Boat Song]" and "Jamaica Farewell" are probably the most enduring of Burgie's songs; he also wrote several other songs for the Kingston Trio besides "The Wanderer."
Nick Reynolds was the rhythm and the heart of the Kingston Trio, for a time the most successful and popular vocal group in the world and certainly a transformative force in world music. Reynolds' soaring tenor and supersonic rhythm strumming gave the high-energy Trio its musical foundation, and as this video attests, he was a superlative solo vocalist as well. Nick was also to the end of his days an outgoing and engaging man whose greatest legacy may well be his personal warmth and genuineness - and his ability to touch those of us lucky enough to have met him. Godspeed, Nick Reynolds!
"Go to sleep, you weary hobo..."
Lookin' at Tomorrow!
It has a similar theme as well.
Ah, I now see where Al Jardine from The Beach Boys got his inspiration to the song Lookin at tomorrow from.
+Invisible Drummer yeah- I always thought it sounded familiar - though Im unsure if I had actually ever heard this song either - I think - just like blues songs - there are probably a bunch of folk songs with this similar riff/melody....
@@hellomcflyy he was a huge fan of them.
As I recall, wasn't there a version of this on the soundtrack to "How The West Was Won", to which Davey and the Whiskeyhill Singers played a prominent part?
thank you..he was a friend and this song i play often by myself on the front porch in NH.....and in front of others as well.
Nice of you to add this to UA-cam........a treasure of a tune
Is that Timothy B Schmit in the last photo with his hand on his shoulder? Sure looks like him, from the Eagles
Thanks for posting this. That song has been going through my head for a long time and I finally searched and found it... the wanderers. It has such an eerie powerful essence. Then went to UA-cam and listened to the song here. Thanks again. My favorite KT song is still Rueben James. What harmony! i'm going to check out that link above for the chords etc. COOL!
Boy, did I ever love this song by Nicky, and loved to try and play it with that glissando guitar break. Thanks so much for bringing it to UA-cam. Five deserving stars. Cordially, John
wow, been playing and singing this song for some thirty five yrs. Had a few words wrong in the lyrics. Thanks for posting
Yup, sounds just like "900 Miles" Very nice though.
Am gonna have to break out my vinyl soundtrack to see what else is on there...as I recall, it was orchestrated by Alfred Newman....and god, remember how amazing it was at the time to see the film in Cinerama...
Cinerama!!
The stereo mix is excellent here . A recent mix certainly..
Those were the sounds! So many memorie's X X
I adored this beautiful man. My parents collected every one of the Kingston Trio's albums and their music is my all-time favorite, hands down. Nick's voice was perfection.
Nick was great. They all were!
nice
