Description
Jasmine's journey into the 1960 folk boom continues with The Journeymen, managed by Frank Werber who also managed The Kingston Trio.
The Journeymen are a wonderful combination of swinging blend and musicianship. From English ballad to swinging spiritual, they even sound equally at home with pop ballads, blues and modern jazz. This well-arranged material is folk-flavoured, yet it's mingled with the group's own humour and harmonic twists, and excitingly filled out by superb instrumentation consisting of banjo and two guitars.
Features the two LPs, 'The Journeymen' and 'Coming Attraction Live!' plus bonus tracks.
The live LP was recorded at Minneapolis's famed Padded Cell, and the excitement the band generates is documented in this on-the-spot recording.
This is a must have set for fans of American folk and in particular the exciting 1960s folk boom.
