(4 out of 5 stars)

""Live at Crazy Horse" is a 1994 album from the current make up of the Kingston Trio, which includes original members Bob Shane and Nick Reynolds along with George Grove (who has only been with the trio for a couple of decades). Most of the tracks on this album are classic Kingston Trio songs such as "They Call the Wind Maria," "The M.T.A.," and "The Reverend Mr. Black." But there are also some more contemporary efforts, most notably a cover of ABBA's "The Way Old Friends Do." The Kingston Trio still sounds pretty good, both in terms of their defining vocal harmonies and their instrument playing. The group's banter between songs clearly indicates they are still having fun, which makes these live performances stand up relatively well in comparison to what they recorded during their glory days."
