tom

tom paxton discography::Includes liner notes by jim musselman.
In 1984, wellestablished chicago folksingers bob gibson and tom paxton united with newcomer anne hills to form a trio called best of friends.
For the next year and a half, they performed together, then went their separate ways.
But they never recorded as a group.
Paxton explains that, while all three are essentially solo acts, occasionally they wonder what their songs will sound like with harmony, and this is a chance to find out.
But for the most part, this is a tom paxton show with harmonies, and his familiar songs benefit from the arrangements.
Still, this is a historical artifact that fills in a gap in the discographies of all three performers.
