Stay Awhile is an album by the American folk music group the Kingston Trio, released in 1965 (see 1965 in music). It was their second release on the Decca label. It continued their downward slide in the charts, reaching number 126 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. The single "Yes I Can Feel It" b/w "Stay Awhile" did not chart.

Reception

Allmusic critic Bruce Eder, in reviewing the reissue, praised the album, writing "This was a pretty strong album to begin with... It's all surprisingly memorable, coming out of a period in which the Trio's records simply weren't selling... The result is a CD every bit as good, and perhaps better than many of the group's classic Capitol sides.
