'Daydream Believer' Songwriter Dies
5 hours ago

SAN DIEGO (AP) — John Stewart, who wrote the Monkees' hit "Daydream Believer" and became a well-known figure in the 1960s folk music revival as a member of The Kingston Trio, has died, according to the band's Web site. He was 68.

Stewart suffered a massive stroke or brain aneurysm and died early Saturday at a San Diego hospital, the band announced on its official Web site.

"The world has lost one of its best men, but a man who lived well and made many people happy with his love, his wit and his music," the announcement said.

Stewart joined The Kingston Trio in 1961, three years after the band released its version of an old folk song, "Tom Dooley," that went on to become a hit. Stewart replaced the band's founder Dave Guard, who had left to pursue a new musical direction.

Stewart spent six years leading the group, during which time the band recorded 13 albums, according to its Web site.

After the trio disbanded in 1967, Stewart went on to an acclaimed solo career that included recording more than 40 albums.

Stewart's wife Buffy and children were at his side when he died, the Web site said. Plans had not been announced for memorial services.

Rest in peace, John. You'll be missed!

OMG..noooo! :( I saw him at Lindsey's concert in San Francisco back in November 2006. WHY didn't I say hello to him?!!

What a great, talented man. He will be missed. :angel:

John Stewart, an intense troubadour who helped set the standards for the singer-songwriter movement of the early 1970s with his classic album "California Bloodlines," died Saturday in his hometown of San Diego after suffering a stroke. He was 68.

Stewart didn't match that acclaim again, but in the long solo career that followed his seven years with the Kingston Trio, he recorded more than 45 albums, flirted with chart success, pioneered the independent recording and release of records, and remained a hard-touring folk patriarch with a loyal following.

Stewart, who lived in Novato in Northern California, had a concert scheduled at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica on Feb. 2 and was in San Diego to complete work on a new album.

Recorded in Nashville with some of the musicians who worked on Bob Dylan's "Nashville Skyline," "California Bloodlines" wasn't a commercial hit when it came out in 1969, but its folk-country blend and Stewart's literary use of quintessential American characters and geography have resonated through the decades in the folk genre that has become known as Americana.

" 'California Bloodlines' is a vision of America written after traveling around the country spending my boyhood on racetracks," Stewart, whose father was a horse trainer, said in a 2003 interview with the San Jose Mercury News. "When I left the Trio, I was reading [Jack] Kerouac and [John] Steinbeck with Andrew Wyeth prints hanging on my wall. All that somehow took me to the songs on that record."

The album was included in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 200 best albums of all time, and on his 2006 album "West of the West," contemporary folk mainstay Dave Alvin recorded the title song, with its evocative refrain: "Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart/And a California woman in my song/Oh, there's California bloodlines in my heart/And a California heartbeat in my soul."

"[Stewart] was probably one of the greatest songwriters around," Roz Larman, the longtime host of KPFK-FM's "Folk Scene" radio program, told the Los Angeles Times on Sunday. "He wrote songs about the United States. You could tell he really loved America. . . . He just knew this country real well, and he was just an amazing songwriter."

Born Sept. 5, 1939, in San Diego, Stewart started performing when he was a teenager in Pomona, and made three albums with the folk group Cumberland Three. He then joined the popular Kingston Trio in 1961 when founding member Dave Guard left the group.

After leaving the trio in 1967, Stewart hit the campaign trail with Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, then began his solo career. His biggest song was "Daydream Believer," a No. 1 hit for the Monkees and also a chart single for Anne Murray. Rosanne Cash later found success with his "Runaway Train."

The biggest hit Stewart recorded himself was "Gold," from his 1979 Top 10 album "Bombs Away Dream Babies." On that project he collaborated with two artists who had studied the Kingston Trio's music when they were starting out -- Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

For the most part, though, he remained a stalwart of the folk circuit. In 2000, he and his former Kingston Trio colleague Nick Reynolds founded the Trio Fantasy Camp in Scottsdale, Ariz., an annual event where fans could perform with the pair.

Stewart is survived by his wife, Buffy Ford Stewart; their son, Luke, and three children from a previous marriage, Mikael, Jeremy and Amy.

Services are pending.

[Did Stevie study the Kingston Trio's music?]




Why do you question that? Stevie has stated she picked up on vocal harmonies from other groups in the past. She has a very (okay, VERY) rudimentary ability to play piano chords, etc. The word "study" need not be limited to playing the guitar, but could be reflecting a study of other aspects of the Kingston Trio music, and Fleetwood Mac certainly used a three piece harmony style in the Rumours generation.

[michelej1]

I don't think the Kingston Trio was one of Stevie's influences. Although, I'm sure she probably heard enough of them while working with Lindsey early on.

Regarding harmonies, I think she probably looked at The Mamas and Papas, Everly Bros., etc.

[Did Stevie study the Kingston Trio's music?]
I think it was mainly Lindsey, but he did teach her about music using other bands. Remember, she mentioned she was at one point turned off by The Beatles because Lindsey made her listen to them constantly. In the Tusk documentary Lindsey mentions another band, who's name now escapes me. So she might not have sought them out herself, but I bet they passed through their record player now and then. ;)

[michelej1]

Remember, she mentioned she was at one point turned off by The Beatles because Lindsey made her listen to them constantly.

Yes, she said he was trying to teach her about bars and she would say to him, 'what bar? You mean the one down the street?' I don't doubt she heard more than enough of the Kingston Trio when they were together.

Michele

[danax6]

Yes, she said he was trying to teach her about bars and she would say to him, 'what bar? You mean the one down the street?'"Bridge over troubled water?" :laugh:

[Carol Lee]

Yes, she said he was trying to teach her about bars and she would say to him, 'what bar? You mean the one down the street?' I don't doubt she heard more than enough of the Kingston Trio when they were together.

Michele

Why would Lindsey be trying to teach her about bars when he had no formal music training and doesn't read music? Or am I wrong?

[michelej1]

This is from the interview with Ian Meldrum:

Meldrum: Going back to the first song that you wrote, you said you got the guitar and wrote a song. What musical influences were going around in your mind?

Nicks: Everly Brothers. I would say The Beatles except for the fact when I met Lindsey he was so insistent that I listen to The Beatles for form, for like: here's your verse, here's your one bar, and I'm going "this is a bar down the corner - right?" I mean, two bars, and then there's another verse, and then you have to have a chorus, and now you have to have a bridge, and I'm going over to a blotter, and I don't understand this. So I got a little upset with people that I was forced to listen to. So, I was not forced to listen to the Everley Brothers and I was not forced to listen to R&B or The Supremes or The Beach Boys, The Four Tops.

[CADreaming]

Speaking about the first time John met Stevie -

"Well, Stevie had been raised on The Kingston Trio. In fact, she told
John, ‘If you knew how many hundreds of hours Lindsey made me sit and
listen to your albums!’"

Speaking about working with Stevie on "Gold" -

"Mary Torrey is a friend of Stevie Nicks and when Stevie came down to do
‘Midnight Wind,’ we were going to mix ‘Midnight Wind’ and I really wanted
her to sing on ‘Gold.’ Because when she did ‘Midnight Wind,’ she heard
‘Gold’ and said, ‘Oh, I really want to sing on that.’ And I didn’t have
the money at that time to put her on. I said, ‘I can’t do it without
seeing that amount of money.’ We’d all had a few drinks at that point
and what you say at four in the morning half in the bag is not what you
might say in the cold light of a sober day.

So when she came down to do ‘Midnight Wind’ I had ‘Gold’ out prepared - I
had it up ready to go and pretended I was mixing it or whatever. I could
tell when she walked in by the look on her face that she was not gonna
sing that night. She just had that ‘I ain’t singing’ look on her face.
So I said, ‘Stevie, I’m gonna go out do the tag on this song - let’s you
and Mary and I go out and sing the end.’ Well, Mary began to cry and I
went, ‘Oh, my God, what did I say?’ Stevie said, ‘John, this is Mary’s
dream to sing on a record.’ I said, ‘We’ve got to go out and do it.’ So
we went out and did the tag and Mary was singing and crying.

I had the lyrics to ‘Gold’ written out on enormous cue cards because
Stevie really can’t see too well. Mary went back in the booth and I
grabbed Stevie and said, ‘Stevie, come on, let’s just do the verses on
this song. It’s not gonna take long.’ I said, ‘Turn the tape on,’ so
they turned the tape on and held the cue cards out and I put my hand over
Stevie’s mouth when she wasn’t supposed to sing and hit her in the back
when she was and she did it in one take and I got her on the song."

Speaking about the inspiration to the line -"people out there turning
music into gold" - from the single "Gold" -

" . . . going to Lindsey’s mansion in Hollywood! I said, ‘Lindsey, what
does it feel like living in a place like this?’ He said, ‘Well, when I
first moved in, I waited for my parents to show up and to take care of
it.’ It’s just a song away. I’ve always maintained it’s just a song
away. Lindsey was starving before Fleetwood Mac. Just four years
earlier he and Stevie were living in a one room apartment, so I said, ‘My
God, there’s people out there turning music into gold,’ and I just
started playing that riff and built the song on that."

I believed you...it just seemed weird that Lindsey would talk that way.

[shackin'up]

He talked that way in HER perception. I bet he said it VERY different and even with another meaning than presented here.

I also suspect that Stevie would not have made quite the splendid teacher she thinks she would have made. Would her reaction to a history lesson have been equally impatient & dismissive? "You're telling me that the Normans invaded the Saxons & I'm going over to a blotter & I don't understand this." Or how about English, considering her vaunted proclamation that she's a poet? "A pronoun doing time as a prepositional object must be in the accusative case? I'm going over to a blotter."

[michelej1]

Apparently, neither Lindsey nor Stevie knows what a bar of music is.


Well, I would hope that Lindsey has just a little more sense than Stevie is able to describe him as having.

I also suspect that Stevie would not have made quite the splendid teacher she thinks she would have made.

I do wonder how much patience Stevie has. It's one thing to twirl and hug a child for a couple of seconds, but to put up with them after they start whining, rebelling and shutting you out is a different matter.

Michele

[michelej1]

This is touching. I didn't know about the Alzheimer's. I'm glad to hear that Lindsey was going to be working with him on the last album. I hope that "I Can't Drive Anymore" gets released and that Lindsey is on guitar. I was disappointed that Lindsey had not worked with Warren Zevon near the end.

JOHN STEWART
Kingston Trio member had big hit `Gold'
Musician wrote `Daydream Believer' for the Monkees

JOEL SELVIN
San Francisco Chronicle

John Stewart, a member of the Kingston Trio who wrote "Daydream Believer" for the Monkees and recorded more than 40 albums of his own, died Saturday from a stroke surrounded by his family in the same San Diego hospital where he was born.

Stewart, 68, first emerged as a songwriter when the original Kingston Trio recorded a couple of his songs. In 1961, he joined the group, at the time one of the biggest selling acts in the world. He quit the group in 1967.

With folk singing partner Buffy Ford, whom he would marry in 1975, Stewart hit the 1968 campaign trail for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, appearing with him at campaign rallies up until the night of his assassination in Los Angeles. He released his classic "California Bloodlines" album in 1969, the first of seven solo albums to make the charts through 1980.

His biggest solo hit was "Gold," from the "Bombs Away Dream Babies" album, which also produced lesser hits "Midnight Wind" and "Lost Her in the Sun."

His songs were recorded by a number of artists, including Rosanne Cash, who scored a 1988 country hit with his "Runaway Train."

He continued to record over the years, releasing a number of recent albums on his own label and selling them through the Internet. He was working on a new album at the time of his death, with Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac playing guitar. Recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Stewart wrote a song for the new album titled "I Can't Drive Anymore."

Since 2000, Stewart and fellow former Kingston Trio member Nick Reynolds have held the Trio Fantasy Camp, where campers practice their favorite Kingston Trio song and perform the number with the two former group members. Stewart was visiting Reynolds in San Diego when he was stricken last Thursday in his hotel room.

[SNLB]

Thanks for posting that article, michelej. I also didn't know about the Alzheimer's.

Today, I was listening to the cd Enjoy Every Sandwich, which is a tribute to Warren Zevon's music, with his songs sung by other artists. Would have been great to hear Lindsey on that cd doing his take on a Zevon song, or, as you say, on Warren's final album, The Wind. Happy Birthday to Warren Zevon.

[desertangel]

The day after John Stewart died, I was at Mattress World with a friend and whatever they had playing on the overhead speakers (I think it was KHITS), the announcer briefly mentioned John's passing and proceeded to play Daydream Believer and Gold. At the same time, a few of the store employees and myself paused for a moment. We all agreed he put out some great music and that his passing was sad for us.

[shackin'up]

Wow, that's news, Lindsey playing with Stewart again lately. It must have been very hard on LB that John passed away. Maybe we see something back from this death on Lindsey's new album.....if it's ever going to be there....

This was posted on YouTube today. Y'all have probably seen it, but I never had and I can't stop watching it!

They both sound wonderful and there's this mutual excitement that's radiating off of them. It's kind of like the time I saw Michael Stipe and Patti Smith perform together; Patti is the person that made Michael realize he wanted to be a singer, and Patti knew it, and seeing them on the same stage was magical. Get a similar vibe here, and it's more wonderful knowing that John appreciated Lindsey as a musician as much as well.

Does anyone know of audio from this?

[wondergirl9847]

I haven't seen that in a long time, and WOWZA. Stevie Nicks who? I think John was Lindsey's musical soulmate. ;) Heh.

I would LOVE to have audio of this if anyone has it. Petty pease? :)

[Stewart on Lindsey's vision and brilliance]

Washington Post, May 30, 1979

HEADLINE:
Rock of Age: Singer John Stewart Draws His Second Wind

BYLINE:
By Eve Zibart

BODY:
Twelve years after the discreet "retirement" of the Kingston Trio, John Stewart - "aging rock 'n' roller," he says mockingly - is finally on the verge of that near impossibility: a comeback on his own terms.

"In the old days, clubs used to put up signs that said: Formerly of the Kinston Trio," he says, rolling a disposable lighter between his fingers like a worry stone. "People would drive in for miles and expect to hear "Tom Dooley'."

Twelve years is a whole generation in musical audiences, and after the Trio dissolved, Stewart found himself looking for listeners, grinding out nine albums on four labels and revolving through the club circuit that has supported so many aging cult favourites. "I was surviving, but not making it," he says simply.

Finally it came to the day when RSO, his label for the past two years, felt Stewart had to put up or shut up. "Al Coury [RSO president] basically said to me, 'Here's $60,000 - either get out a Top 10 record or get off the label'."

But against all odds, the new album - Stewart's 30th, all told - seems to be making it. The single, "Gold," has leapfrogged to No. 37 in its third week on the charts, propelling him into the rock radio mainstream.

"For the first time in 10 years," says Stewart with a rasp that is part I-told-you-so and part once-burned-twice-shy, "I have a chance at a Top 10 hit."

Already, Stewart says, the golden groveling has begun:

"All of a sudden it goes from, 'Whaddya want, Stewart?' to 'What can we do for you, Mr. Stewart' I mean, I'll play the game, but I gotta tell you, it's a little hard to take."

If the album does reach the Top 10, Stewart will become one of a bare handful of veterans of the early '60s to prosper, not merely survive, into the '80s. And unlike the rest - Mary Travers, John Denver, the Beach Boys etc. - Stewart is fighting a campaign of a wholly new tone.

He is out on the road for a fortnight, playing clubs like the Cellar Door (where he appeared Monday and Tuesday) to "break in" his band before moving out as an opening act for some bigger concerts over the summer.

Sitting in Clyde's, Stewart admits that the album, "Bombs Away Dream Babies" was a do-or-die creation. If it flopped, he was prepared figuratively to throw the guitar away and go into some behind-the-booth work like production. For the first time, he produced his own record, aided and abetted by Lindsay Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac (listed as "producer" at large"). He consciously struck from the album a couple of songs written as formula singles: "Now there isn't anything on the album I don't really like."

In the Los Angeles order of things, $60,000 is about half the average cost of an album. Stewart went way over budget, finally bringing it in after 8 months at $110,000 and personally going "on the cuff" to the studio for $10,000. "Al was out of the country," Stewart grins, both sly and sheepish. But now that it looks to have been a good investment, RSO has agreed to pay off the studio debt.

"Bombs Away" is a spare, restrained rock 'n' roll album, weighty with bass and straightforward guitar leads and Stewart's own gruff, Johnny Cash vocals. There is a resemblance to Fleetwood Mac's multimillion selling "Rumours" not only in Buckingham's guitar work and Stevie Nicks' wailing background vocals, but in what Stewart calls the "focused" quality of the production.

(Buckingham, whom Stewart calls "the Paul McCartney of Fleetwood Mac," has said he learned to play guitar as a child from studying Kingston Trio albums. Stewart claims he learned to play electric guitar "like a banjo, lots of melody," by listening repeatedly to Buckingham's work on Feetwood Mac albums.)

Not only has Stewart thrown in his lot with the rock 'n' roll minimalists, he believes that is the wave of the '80s.

"I have heard the future of rock 'n' roll, and it's devastating," he says of the forthcoming Fleetwood Mac album. "What Lindsay has done is unbelieveable. There's this one song - the closest I could come to describing it is a Scottish-African song with overtones of punk . . . and country."

"Seventies music was kind of faceless," he says, shrugging. "It was a kind of reaction to the '60s and all the turmoil we went through. But in the '80s music is going to be very focused. I think Lindsay is just ahead of the '80s the way Dylan was just ahead of the '60s movement. It's those guys - Dire Straits, Elvis Costello - who are going to be the '80s.

"I predict," he says, mocking again.

[Peestie]

That's very cool. I was scrolling down all the pictures and thinking "I'm glad there seems to be so many people turning up to show their love for John and then suddenly I get to pictures of Lindsey! When I was scrolling down I didn't expect to see him, but I don't know why he wouldn't have been there so I guess I shouldn't have been shocked.

Is there any news on what song(s?) he performed? I'm guessing one of John's songs. Was everybody there doing covers of his stuff? I'd love to have heard the whole night.

EDIT: I've just found this:

"Obviously, Lindsey Buckingham showed up - with a lovely version of "Lock All The Windows" and a blazing rendition of Gold with the band."

and this:

15. Lindsey Buckingham solo's on "Lock all the windows"
(unBELIEVEable!) and then does "Never goin back again"
and says how the style he used on that was learned from
John on the Kingston Trio albums.
16. The JS band return with Buffy and Shauna Morrison on vocals
and Lindsay leads them all on a kick ass version of "Gold"
which ROCKED! Russ Kunkel on congos.

I'd love to hear a recording of Lindsey doing this stuff (I can live without NGBA though). I doubt anyone will have recorded it since it was a tribute and it would take some nerve to do that to what looks like an intimate concert that is meant as a mark of respect for a well loved artist.

[michelej1]

Thanks for posting this. That was lovely. I had imagined the Memorial in my head, but I envisioned a more funeral setting. I didn't think that it really was like a private concert. How fitting for John. There are some people pictured that I haven't seen in years and some I've read their names for years, but don't think I've seen photos of before.

I remember that Matt posted a link about the service which said, "Lindsey Buckingham did an emotional and hypnotic version of John's Kingston Trio song Lock All the Windows, which left room for only the proverbial pin-drop at its end. It was one of so many breath-taking moments during the service."

Looking at the pix, I don't know if Lindsey was in his (formal) brown T-shirt or if the lighting only made it look brown.

[Tango]

Thank you for putting up the link to the tribute. There's a monkey, an eagle and even someone lost in space. It's really amazing to see all these people together on one stage for John. History.
