Final US top twenty album success for Latin influenced folk singer Trini Lopez came with The Folk Album. Trini's albums continued to dent the lower reaches of the US chart for the rest of the decade. (US:18)

"This album is a classic. It shows how Trini could mould these classic folk tunes into his 'own style'. The album contains Lemon Tree, Michael and a great remake of Greenback Dollar, to name a few. Highly recommended for any Trini Lopez fan."

"Contains one of Trini's finest work. You can tell the fun he is having in the studio with these songs. I only wish there were more."

"Bought it originally in 1965, it quickly became one of my favourite albums. I've always been a sucker for a 12-string guitar. Trini was one of the best."

"Try and find anyone who crosses so many lines of culture. Everyone thinks of Michael Jackson, but Trini Lopez crossed boundaries and did it with class and style. A top notch entertainer, who could get a group standing up and dancing, and feeling good. Try him, you'll like him."

"The Folk Album by Trini Lopez only goes to show that this guy was a champ who could - and still can - sing and play his guitar exceptionally well. Trini turns out some wonderful numbers on this album and he never sounded better. Trini really put a lot of feeling into each ballad; and just one listen proves it."

"Trini Lopez never lets his fans down; and The Folk Album is just one of many examples of that."

"Lemon Tree is an immortal song no doubt. I will like it forever and I appreciate Trini Lopez very much for singing this beautiful and interesting song."
