The Kingston Trio No. 16

The Kingston Trio #16 is an album by the American folk music group the Kingston Trio, released in 1963 (see 1963 in music). It reached number 4 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. The lead-off single was "Reverend Mr. Black" b/w "One More Round", reaching number 8.

Reception
Allmusic critic Bruce Eder called the album "an engaging collection of John Stewart originals interspersed with a handful of joint compositions and arrangements and two outside numbers. Whatever the makeup of the songwriting, the album is one of the trio's best, a sinewy, exciting collection of performances... This was the trio's last great album for Capitol Records."
