Rubber Soul and Between the Buttons were both great albums about the same time. Funny, no one mentions folk music and the Kingston Trio gets overlooked...almost like embarrassed to admit that we listened to them. The Trio carried Capital Records when Sinatra tanked and were there to welcome the Beatles. Simon and Garfunkel, Peter, Paul and Mary, and a host of other groups from the 60’s were all influenced by the Trio. The Trio earned the first Grammy for country music in 1958 and are rarely mentioned in Country music circles.

They were together a long time as well. Lefties of course, but the PBS fundraiser documentary on them was pretty interesting.
