The songs on this album show a strong influence mixing Bob Dylan's early work with a bit of Woody Guthrie thrown in for good measure. The stripped-down versions were slightly more complex recordings of the type Winston typically does prior to recording full versions with other musicians and were originally intended to be the final versions of these songs. Over the next few years, however, Winston did record full band versions, which are sprinkled throughout his next three albums.

The Two Tones

Winston Apple and the Two Tones

In cart Not available Out of stock

The band that Winston assembled for this album (and Radio Bay USA) bonded to the extent that the band took on the name (derived from a sub-genre of ska music) and the band name became the album title. The songs have a strong ska and reggae influence, combined with pop and rock influences and production values. Winston wrote all of the songs.
