Hi Jim:

No question HERE WE GO AGAIN (NBD) and NEW FRONTIER (NBJ) sounded amazing! Voyle Gilmore certainly deserved top marks for his producing skills!

With regards to NEW FRONTIER - John Stewart told Allan Shaw (Rediscover Music/Folk Era Records) everybody involved really worked hard on that album.
In fact, it was NEW FRONTIER which brought out John Stewart's confidence in the recording studio ----
supported by the first time John wrote the liner notes for a KINGSTON TRIO album.

Ironically, it was John Stewart who gave THE KINGSTON TRIO both album titles: HERE WE GO AGAIN (NBD)...and...NEW FRONTIER (NBJ).

I thought the KT's TIME TO THINK album was also very well recorded - and although haunted by sadness (JFK/Nov 22nd, 1963) ----
it became my favorite NBJ record. I also believe it was the first time Nick Reynolds wrote the liner notes for a KINGSTON TRIO album.

John Stewart gave a whoppingly strong performance in "Coal Tattoo" -> a song written by Billy Edd Wheeler in reference to coal miners and the invisible poor.
