''Goin' Places'' was the tenth album by the American folk music group The Kingston Trio, released in 1961 (see 1961 in music). It peaked at number three on the Billboard charts and spent 41 weeks in the Top 40. The lead-off single was "You're Gonna Miss Me" (a new arrangement of "Frankie and Johnny") which failed to chart. It's B-side was "En El Agua". ''Goin' Places'' was the last album recorded with founder Dave Guard as a member.〔Liner notes: ''Make Way'' and ''Goin' Places'' Capitol Records reissue. Liner notes by Ben Blake, 1992.〕 ==History== The day after the completion of the ''Goin' Places'' recording sessions, the Trio embarked on their first foreign tour. After their return, Guard announced his intention to resign from the group. Guard stated in numerous interviews he left the Trio for two main reasons: He was upset with a discrepancy in publishing royalties and he felt the Trio needed to grow musically. The other members, Nick Reynolds and Bob Shane, disagreed on both counts.〔Life Magazine. ''Kingston Trio's Big Bust-Up''. June 9, 1961. Vol. 50, No. 23〕 Guard stayed on to fulfill the group's concert commitments through November and Reynolds and Shane, having decided to keep the group going, hired John Stewart as Guard's replacement.〔 Guard later formed the folk-oriented group Whiskeyhill Singers — which disbanded after one Capitol album and virtually no success — before moving on to other endeavors.〔Liner notes: ''The Kingston Trio: The Guard Years'', 1997, by Bill Bush.〕 In an interview for ''Frets'' magazine in 1984 and included in the liner notes to ''The Guard Years'', Reynolds stated: "Basically, David wanted to take it on to another level. Bobby and I were just hangin' out, having a good time. We were happy with the format and working way too hard to consider sitting down and learning how to read music... We were killing ourselves as it was with the work, and David was insisting that we take lessons. He was also upset about the publishing thing, and didn't think people were taking care of business, and he became dissatisfied with everything from photography to the management. It might have been an overreaction on Dave's part, but I believe that he honestly wanted to take it to a higher plane..."〔〔Frets Magazine, June 1984.

The final live performances of the original trio were released in 2007 as ''Live at the Santa Monica Auditorium''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goin' Places (The Kingston Trio album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
