    Arguably the best vocal group of the popular folk revival of the late 1950s through the mid 1960s was the Chad Mitchell Trio. Each member of the group - Chad Mitchell, Mike Kobluk, and Joe Frazier - was a formally trained singer with chorale/vocal experience prior to their assembling as a trio. They received the most notice for their trenchant satirical and political songs, and for introducing the compositions of songwriter Tom Paxton to a wide audience. But the CMT also had a wonderful way with traditional folk material, as this rendition of the Woody Guthrie classic set to "Wildwood Flower" stirringly attests. Kobluk, Mitchell, and Frazier still do concerts and recordings as of 2009, one of the few groups from that era that still performs with its original members.

    A complete discussion of the song with other recorded versions appears in the blog associated with this YT channel, Comparative Video 101, here:

    The Chad Mitchell Trio had the most superb harmonies of all the singers of the era. Their interpretations of songs still remains the gold standard to all others.

    USS Reuben James is a US Navy Destroyer FFG-57 I sent the captain of the ship the KT version of the song.

    Tannenberg, I love your sarcasm. I don't think the problem is liberalism, per se, or even pacifism. Living in fear is the problem. Free country? Hah! Everything has turned so, well GAY!. No, folks, I have zero problem with homosexuals-before I get a bunch of angry responses- but I truly don't know any more politically correct expression that cuts it. And that's another problem: People using political correctness to veil their contempt. I'd rather just have it out in the open...

    Beautiful clean singing by my favorite American folk group of all time; ah, if they only would have had a concert with the Dubliners!

    In the first line of the song.."Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James?"

    Almost fifty years and I am still sometimes stunned at the balance and texture they had as a trio. First concert I ever drove to myself was when they were touring behind Rhymes for the Irreverent. Big maturity moment. Plus I was crushing on Joe.

    KT's song is a rousing anthem, very powerful guitars and vocals. This song needs to be sung loudly. this one is just as great. I sent the KT and Highwaymen versions to USS Reuben James FFG-57 to have them add it to their site. First time I heard this one and it's saved as well. I'm a well accomplished musician myself in various instruments GOT TIME TO BREATHE: TOT TIME FOR MUSIC ....................................................BRISCOE DARLING (THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW) I ALSO PLAY JUG BASS

    Let's not forget Woody Guthrie who wrote it, the first version included the names of the men who died that day but he thought the song too long and a bit boring in that context and substituted the "what were their names" chorus instead...
