Greatest Folksingers of the '60s

Greatest Folksingers of the '60s (1972) more music like this

by Various Artists

Not only was Maynard Solomon's Vanguard Records one of the major folk labels of the 60s (having the prescience to pick up Joan Baez early on, and then recording the cream of the singer/songwriters thereafter), but it also had the rights to record and release material from the Newport Folk Festival, giving it access to several artists who were not ...

Classic Scots Ballads: Tradition Years

Classic Scots Ballads: Tradition Years (2005) more music like this

by Ewan MacColl/Peggy Seeger

Ewan MacColl was a poet, a political activist, a playwright, a fine songwriter (his "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is one of the greatest love songs ever written), and a nuanced and balanced interpreter of traditional folk songs, particularly those that were sung in his native Scotland. This unassuming album of Scots ballads was recorded in ...

Smithsonian Folkways American Roots Collection (1996) more music like this

by var art

This assemblage of blues, bluegrass, mountain ballads, topical songs, and jazz shows the wide range of American vernacular music, and Smithsonian Folkways' commitment to it. Among the many highlights here are Clarence Ashley and Doc Watson's ragged and yet sleek version of "The Coo Coo Bird," Doug Wallin's creaky and breathless a cappella version ...

Three Score and Ten

Three Score and Ten (2007) more music like this

by Peggy Seeger

Peggy Seeger has been involved in folk music since the '50s, even before the folk revival kicked into high gear. She's always practiced a more traditional strain of folk music like her half-brother Pete Seeger, and while her vocals were quite distinct, her recordings have been too few and hard to find. Three Score and Ten serves to remind folk ...

The Big Hewer

The Big Hewer (1959) more music like this

by Ewan MacColl with Charles Parker & Peggy Seeger

In many ways, The Big Hewer works in a way that's different from the other radio ballads. It uses the testimony of miners from several areas of Britain, interspersed with song (most notably the recurring "Go Down") by Ewan MacColl, and sound effects from the mines. But it also evokes a bigger, mythical figure: the Big Hewer, the towering figure of ...

Love Will Linger On

Love Will Linger On (2000) more music like this

by Peggy Seeger

Peggy Seeger's 19th solo album is a thematic collection of originals and traditional songs concerning romantic love. It begins with the standard "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," which Seeger's late husband Ewan MacColl wrote for her, and that track sets the tone lyrically, if not musically, in the sense that, while not lacking in eroticism ( ...

American Folk Songs for Children (1977) more music like this

by Mike and Peggy Seeger

An earlier review summarizes this project as being for ages three to seven, but perhaps this isn't the best target audience for such an extensive project. Above all this set should be of interest to many listeners conceptually, as it represents a labor of love that spans a generation. Brother and sister Mike and Peggy Seeger have recorded the ...

Classic Scots Ballads (1961) more music like this

by Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger

The recording is admittedly a bit rough around the edges, but the passion is definitely there in this duo collection. MacColl contributes the main part of the vocals, with able support from Seeger, whose guitar and banjo provide a sparse but solid backup. Amongst the fourteen offerings, you'll find excellent versions of "Aikendrum" and "The Banks ...

Folkways Years, 1955-1992: Songs of Love and Politics (1992) more music like this

by Peggy Seeger

As a title, The Folkways Years is something of a misnomer for this compilation album because it is a broader collection, in which recordings made by Peggy Seeger for Folkways Records constitute less than half of the 21 selections, along with eight previously unreleased, mostly live recordings made in the 1980s, three tracks licensed from Rounder ...

Heading for Home (2003) more music like this

by Peggy Seeger

In September 2002, 67-year-old folksinger Peggy Seeger holed up in a cottage in rural England with her two sons, Calum and Neill MacColl, and recorded 40 tracks -- enough for three CDs -- which Appleseed Recordings plans to issue on a yearly basis starting with this first installment. "For the first time in my life," she writes in her liner notes, ...

The Ballad of John Axon (1965) more music like this

by Ewan MacColl With Charles Parker & Peggy Seeger

The very first of the MacColl/Parker/Seeger radio ballads for the BBC, commemorating both a railwayman who died trying to stop his runaway train, and British railwaymen in general. The production itself more or less required them to invent their techniques on the fly -- there was originally no intention of using the field recordings as they were, ...

Love Call Me Home (2005) more music like this

by Peggy Seeger

During the 1950s-1960s folk revival, Peggy Seeger developed one of the most distinct vocal styles among traditional singers. She sang within tradition, but honed a personal style that surpassed mere emulation. Perhaps because she was -- like Jean Ritchie -- so traditional, or perhaps because she spent so much time in England, she never received ...

The Fight Game (1967) more music like this

by Ewan MacColl With Charles Parker & Peggy Seeger

Given the social relevance of the other radio ballads produced by Ewan MacColl, Charles Parker, and Peggy Seeger, on the surface The Fight Game seems as if it could be lightweight and indulgent. In point of fact, it proves to be a very weighty topic indeed, drawing on comments from fighters, trainers, and managers to offer a comprehensive portrait ...

The Body Blow (1999) more music like this

by Ewan MacColl/Charles Parker/Peggy Seeger

A radio ballad initially intended to deal with the psychology of pain, but finally refocused to the subject of polio -- a disease that brings with it a terrible amount of pain, along with its disabling effects (the late Ian Dury was a polio survivor). While polio has receded from public awareness between the 1960s and the 21st century, it remains ...

Bring Me Home (2008) more music like this

by Peggy Seeger

While Peggy Seeger was active as an artist as early as the 1950s, and while she played a vital role within the traditional faction of the folk revival, she seems to have recorded infrequently until recent years. Beginning in 2000, however, she has released a steady stream of albums on Appleseed, a folk label aptly suited for her bare-bones, ...
