The Kingston Duo
(Props for Monty)
Or
Cheer Up, Sleepy John
(More kudos for Monty)
John Stewart, who helped blend folk and country to create Americana in those Time Life album series advertised on the 4 a.m. infomercials, has died of either an aneurysm or a stroke at the age of 68. The former member of the Kingston Trio also wrote Daydream Believer for the Monkees, Strange Rivers for Joan Baez and Runaway Train for Roseanne Cash. His solo career included the genre-defining, but commercially flopping California Bloodlines, as well as Bombs Away Dream Babies.
