Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits [2002]

Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits [2002] (2002) more music like this

by Pete Seeger

"Greatest Hits," as Seeger himself wryly wrote in his liner notes, is a misnomer considering that he never had hit singles or huge-selling albums as a solo artist, though actually "Little Boxes" (included here) made the lower reaches of the charts. In reality this 1967 compilation (since reissued on CD) collects the most popular tracks of his 1962 ...

Precious Friend

Precious Friend (1982) more music like this

by Arlo Guthrie/Pete Seeger

Recorded in late summer of 1981, Precious Friend, the second of Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger's live collaborations, is pretty much what you would expect. Seeger is his usual folksy self, leading the crowd through a series of folk tunes ranging from the traditional African chant "Wimoweh (Mbube)" to Harry Chapin's "Circles," while Guthrie mixes his ...

Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Fishes (Little & Big) (1998) more music like this

by Pete Seeger

Previously available on two separate 1955 Folkways LPs (Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Little Fishes and Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Bigger Fishes), this CD combines both of these children's records onto one disc, complete lyrics included in the accompanying booklet. As the titles make plain, the songs were devoted to animals of all sorts; Birds, Beasts, ...

We Shall Overcome: The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert

We Shall Overcome: The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert (1989) more music like this

by Pete Seeger

We Shall Overcome: The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert shows that Pete Seeger was at his apex as a performer and as an influential figure in the surging folk movement when John Hammond turned on the Columbia Records tape machine to capture this performance. Out flowed stories, traditional songs, covers of songs by new songwriters like Bob Dylan, ...

Greatest Hits (1957) more music like this

by The Weavers

This is an excellent double-disc compilation of this group's more directly folk-related work from the mid 50s to the mid 60s. Note, however, that these are not the original Weavers recordings of their hits. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Abiyoyo (And Other Songs and Stories) (1967) more music like this

by Pete Seeger

What can one say about the father of it all? He has been a staple in this music for a long, long time. His voice and banjo -- and his life -- stand for positive values for people in general, especially on this album. For ages three to seven. Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide

Folkways: A Vision Shared - A Tribute to Woody Guthrie & Leadbelly

Folkways: A Vision Shared - A Tribute to Woody Guthrie & Leadbelly (1988) more music like this

by Various Artists

This is a solid collection of alternately exuberant and faithful covers of the songs of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. Great cuts are Little Richard's fuel-injected "Rock Island Line," and Springsteen's "Vigilante Man." Bob Dylan does "Pretty Boy Floyd." Richard Meyer, All Music Guide

Folk Music of the World

Folk Music of the World (1991) more music like this

by Pete Seeger

A CD compilation of two albums Pete Seeger recorded under the same title in the late '50s, Folk Music of the World sounds like Seeger's response to Theodore Bikel's big-selling series of albums devoted to the local folk music of various countries. There's little attempt to be "faithful" in any literal sense, as Seeger performs all of the songs in ...

The Essential Pete Seeger [Sony] (2005) more music like this

by Pete Seeger

Pete Seeger is the sort of person who has become the stuff of legend for all the best reasons. As a musicologist, he's been a passionate archivist of folk songs of all sorts from around the world for most of his life, and thousands of people (perhaps millions) would not have heard songs such as "Goodnight Irene," "This Land Is Your Land" and ...

Best of Broadside 1962-1988 (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

From the early '60s to the late '80s, Broadside magazine printed numerous topical songs by contemporary writers, in addition to articles and commentary. By far the most influential years of its life span were the earliest ones, in the early to mid-'60s, when it helped steer the folk movement toward original material that directly addressed modern ...

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 ...

If I Had a Hammer: Songs of Hope & Struggle (1998) more music like this

by Pete Seeger

Pete Seeger's repertoire was not limited to songs with specific sociopolitical goals, and the most familiar versions of his most popular tunes were done for Columbia. Still, it's hard to imagine doing better than this compilation of Folkways recordings (most from the late '50s and '60s) if you want evidence of Seeger's importance and skills as a ...

American Favorite Ballads, Vol. 4 (1961) more music like this

by Pete Seeger

Although Pete Seeger did put out an LP on Folkways in 1961 titled American Favorite Ballads, Vol. 4, it's important to note straight off that the 2006 CD reissue on Smithsonian Folkways bearing the same title has a considerably different track listing. While 12 of the 28 tracks on the CD are indeed from the 1961 CD, the other songs are taken from ...

Song and Play Time with Pete Seeger (1960) more music like this

by Pete Seeger

This 1960 recording is one of about ten children's music albums Seeger issued on Folkways, and offers no particular surprises or themes. It's just Seeger on guitar and banjo, as usual, delivering standards like "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain," "Skip to My Lou," "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad," and "Little Sally Walker" with enthusiasm ...

Where Have All the Flowers Gone: The Songs of Pete Seeger (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

After listening to this multi-artist two-CD celebration of Pete Seeger's songs, you'll be delighted to read in the liner notes that it's "just the beginning of at least four volumes." Producer Jim Musselman calls the package a "labor of love," and that's clearly what it was. Musselman did a terrific job of choosing the songs from Seeger's vast ...

Don't Mourn - Organize!: Songs of Labor Songwriter Joe Hill (1990) more music like this

The inclusion of Joan Baez's version of "Joe Hill" on the Woodstock album has been single-handedly responsible for keeping Joe Hill in the public consciousness. Sad but true, for Joe Hill, poet, songwriter, and organizer, was the most popular intentionally proletarian artist in American culture. Not an easy feat, especially considering how many ...

The Weavers at Carnegie Hall (1957) more music like this

by The Weavers

Despite having scored a series of major hits in the early '50s, starting with "Goodnight Irene," which topped the charts for 13 weeks, the Weavers were hounded out of existence in 1953 as part of the anti-Communist witch hunts. Although Senator Joseph McCarthy, whose scurrilous activities gave the McCarthy Era its name, had been condemned by the ...
