New Christy Minstrels – Ride, Ride, Ride.

|

Barry McGuire is the famous baritone on a few of the New Christy Minstrels albums in the early 1960s. He really belts it out on this song, giving it a real wild west flavor.

Randy Sparks ran into him at a bar in Oklahoma and heard him preform, and asked him to join their informal group. Previously, Barry McGuire was a commercial fisherman, and then became a journeyman pipe fitter. His accent was authentic.

Over the years, the New Christy Minstrels have had over 200 different members, many of are artists who then went on to own right -- like the Byrds, the Association, Kenny Rogers, etc.

Barry McGuire went on to fame with his song the Eve of Destruction, and eventually became a contemporary christian music singer, after the great born-again Christian movement of the late 60s that many artists became involved in.

Turn, Turn, Turn

“Turn! Turn! Turn!”
As adapted by Pete Seeger from Ecclesiastes 3

To everything – turn, turn, turn
There is a season – turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything – turn, turn, turn
There is a season – turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything – turn, turn, turn
There is a season – turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything – turn, turn, turn
There is a season – turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late!
