With the release of this album in April 1963, Trini Lopez became one of the biggest singing stars of the folk revival. Trini Lopez at P.J's made it to No. 2 on the Billboard charts and stayed in the Top 40 for more than a year.

This was the album that made Lopez an instant success and the live party-a-go-go atmosphere of the record did much to put Trini's likable energy over the top. What Lopez did, at the head of a trio was to make folk-pop swing. Songs include "This Land Is Your Land," and "Gotta Travel On." It could be surmised that by treating such material in this fashion, Lopez had a tiny influence upon the subsequent folk-rock movement...though, Lopez was more the all-around entertainer with a Latin lilt than he was a pure folk singer, so you also get "America" (from West Side Story), "La Bamba," Ray Charles' "What'd I Say," "Volare," and "When the Saints Go Marching In."

The album's highlight is the chart-topping "If I Had a Hammer," which reached No. 1 in 36 countries and was a radio favorite for many years. The hit single sold more than 4 million copies and the album sold more than 1 million and was awarded a gold record. Now you can hear the classic favorite back on vinyl, and in a heavyweight QRP pressing with its gorgeous dead-silent backgrounds. For the first time on vinyl, all of the lyrics are included!
