I listen to SomaFM on the Tune-in radio app, and this song is in their rotation.
I’ll post a link to the station

I’m listening to @SomaFM on @TuneIn. #NowPlaying

Great tune and album. Died before his time. Original member of Kingston Trio.

John Stewart wrote so many good (and obscure) songs. He was able to keep writing and performing on a small scale for a long time - I think in large part from the royalties from Daydream Believer.

Years after the Kingston Trio broke up, he did an album with Nick Reynolds called "Revenge of the Budgie" If you're a Trio and/or Stewart fan and you can find this album, it's worth it. Really great stuff and you can hear echoes from the Trio all over it.

I’ve not heard of John Stewart before now, but apparently, many of his songs have worked well for various other singers.
This song here has a nice melody, but the energy of his delivery is low energy, and the first few lines don’t pull me in with great force. He is later joined in the chorus, and that sounds nice.

I’m thinking of another pro level musician of that time:
Glen Campbell would have done quite well with a song like this. Glen was a fine guitarist and eventually developed a full range singing voice, one with the power to make you stop and listen to him. Think Wichita Highway.

WOW! That brought up distant memories from when I was a kid. I had not head that song since then and had no idea who sang it or what it was. I recognized it instantly though.
