String Along

It was their fifth studio album in a row to reach number one on the Billboard charts and remained there for ten weeks.

String Along received an RIAA gold certification in 1962, a year after Dave Guard had left the group.

Two singles, "Bad Man's Blunder" b/w "The Escape of Old John Webb" and "Everglades" b/w "This Mornin', This Evenin', So Soon", were released.

[2] "The Escape of Old John Webb" is an old English folk song and was deliberately recorded in an attempt to increase the Trio's popularity in Great Britain.

Eder noted the album "has other highlights and oddities" and singled out Ray Charles' "Leave My Woman Alone".
