1	The Greatest Songs of Woody Guthrie (1972) more music like this by Woody Guthrie A two-record set released on one CD, this collection of great Woody Guthrie songs performed by some of Guthrie's apostles, as well as by Guthrie himself, serves as a nice overview of his music. From the opening notes of "This Land Is Your Land" and a composite arrangement that starts with Guthrie and his guitar, then folds into the Weavers ... see all copies from $12.47! new only from $12.47!
2	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 see all copies from $7.93! new only from $14.22!
3	Billboard Pop Memories: 1950-1954 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Rock & roll seemed the farthest thing from anyone's mind during the early '50s. Elaborate, highly arranged songs such as Tony Bennett's "Rags to Riches," Rosemary Clooney's "Come On-A My House" and Kay Starr's "Wheel of Fortune" were the norm, plus the overwrought and frenzied vocals of Eddie Fisher and Johnny Ray & the Four Lads. There were also ... see all copies from $2.87! new only from $6.42!
4	Sentimental Journey, Vol. 2 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Sentimental Journey: Pop Vocal Classics, Vol. 2 (1947-1950) includes Dinah Shore's "Buttons and Bows," Patti Page's "The Tennessee Waltz," "Again" by Mel Torme, Eileen Barton's "If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake," and (on CD) "Goodnight Irene" by The Weavers and "Music! Music! Music!" by Teresa Brewer among its 18 tracks. All Music ... see all copies from $5.89! new only from $11.11!
5	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 ... see all copies from $11.92! new only from $11.92!
6	Best of the Vanguard Years (2001) more music like this by The Weavers The Weavers' stint at Vanguard, it should be noted, took place after they had their big pop hits in the early 1950s. That might be construed as either an advantage or disadvantage, depending on your perspective. These are not the biggest-selling original versions of the staples of their repertoire, but they also feature only the group and their ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
7	Reunion at Carnegie Hall, 1963 (1963) more music like this by The Weavers The Weavers celebrated their 15th anniversary by performing two concerts -- May 2 and 3, 1963 -- at Carnegie Hall, the site of their historic 1955 comeback concert, and inviting back former members Pete Seeger and Erik Darling as well as introducing new member Bernie Krause. The shows served to reaffirm the status of a group that had fostered the ... see all copies from $11.92! new only from $11.92!
8	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 ... see all copies from $30.20! new only from $30.20!
9	Best of the Weavers [Vanguard] (1997) more music like this by The Weavers Vanguard's Best of the Weavers is a solid, if brief, collection featuring many of the group's best-known songs -- "Goodnight Irene," "This Land Is Your Land, " "On Top of Old Smoky, " "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore, " "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" -- thereby offering a serviceable, affordable introduction to the groundbreaking folk group. Stephen ... see all copies from $7.26! new only from $7.26!
10	The Weavers Classics (1987) more music like this by The Weavers This compilation album culls 12 of the 17 songs from the Weavers' 1958 album, The Weavers at Home, plus four of the five songs from its follow-up, Travelling on with the Weavers (1959) that featured departing tenor Pete Seeger. It gets docked half a diamond for its misleading title, which could cause a customer to confuse it with a hits or best-of ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $12.09!
11 view cover	A Folksinger's Christmas (1995) more music like this by Various Artists A nice 40-minute collection of Christmas music from Vanguard's vaults. The fourteen cuts are rather biased toward Joan Baez, who is represented here with selections from NOEL, as well as a song from the Newport Folk Festival that introduced her to the folk community at large. Also sampled on this album are Odetta, the Weavers, Erik Darling and ... see all copies from $12.09! new only from $12.09!
12 view cover	The Reunion at Carnegie Hall, 1963, Pt. 2 (1963) more music like this by The Weavers "So this is the final Weavers record," writes Vanguard Records head Maynard Solomon in his liner notes to the second album (mostly) culled from the group's May 2-3, 1963, stand at Carnegie Hall, performances at which Ronnie Gilbert, Lee Hays, and Fred Hellerman were joined by all four occupants of the tenor position: original member Pete Seeger; ... see all copies from $9.27! new only from $11.92!
13 view cover	The Best of the Decca Years (1996) more music like this by The Weavers The Best of the Decca Years is a thorough overview of the Weavers' peak hit-making years, containing all of their biggest '50s hit, including the chart-topping single "Goodnight Irene." Many of these recordings boast light orchestra and choral arrangements, which mean they may sound fairly dated to contemporary listeners, yet these were ... see all copies from $9.98!
14 view cover	Folk Song America, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A collection of recordings from the Smithsonian archives, Folk Song America, Vol. 1 is an extremely interesting album, mostly because of its mix of genuine folk performers and folk revival practitioners who adapted and approached these traditional tunes as art songs and artifacts. The end result has Leadbelly's prison-refined artistry bumping up ... see all copies from $9.95!
15 view cover	Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this by The Weavers The Weavers installment of the Vanguard Visionaries series features the folk revival classics "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," "Wimoweh," and "This Land Is Your Land," but at ten tracks, this is hardly the definitive Weavers collection. Listeners should check out Rev-Ola's Hard, Ain't It Hard: Weavers Greatest Songs or, for the more adventurous, Bear ... see all copies from $10.25! new only from $10.25!
16 view cover	Vanguard Folk Sampler (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $12.47! new only from $12.47!
17 view cover	This Land Is Your Land: Songs of Freedom (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Although this is a fairly good compilation of songs, mostly well-known, from the 1950s and (mostly) 1960s folk revival, the common threads between the tunes are vaguer than what the title might portend. Indeed, some of these 16 tracks are specific songs of freedom and struggle: Cisco Houston's "This Land Is Your Land," the Weavers' "If I Had a ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $14.22!
18 view cover	Rarities from the Vanguard Vault (2003) more music like this by The Weavers Before the American folk revival of the late '50s, the Weavers proved that traditional music, when presented in the proper fashion, could be wildly popular. Rarities From the Vanguard Vault captures the group at a crossroads in 1957-1958. On the first half of the material, Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert, and Fred Hellerman are joined by bandmate Pete ... see all copies from $15.23! new only from $15.23!
19 view cover	The Weavers' Almanac (1963) more music like this by The Weavers Given that the Weavers evolved out of the politically oriented Almanac Singers, and that this album was released during a period when Peter, Paul & Mary and other folk groups were reviving their songs with commercial success, calling it The Weavers' Almanac evoked their past in a newly fashionable present. Having reached the best-seller charts ... see all copies from $10.90! new only from $12.09!
20 view cover	Gospel (1997) more music like this by The Weavers Given their reputation for being, well, godless Communists, the concept of a gospel album by the Weavers is curious on its face. In fact, however, much of the group's repertoire derived from folk and spiritual sources, sometimes with specifically religious subject matter, sometimes just with church-based origins. In these tracks, compiled from ... see all copies from $12.09! new only from $12.09!
21 view cover	Southern Country Gospel (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The second release in the Vanguard label's Gospel series includes the Stanley Brothers' "Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet," Pete Seeger's "Oh Mary Don't You Weep" and Maybelle Carter & the Lost City Ramblers' "The Old Gospel Ship." Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.99! new only from $12.99!
22 view cover	The Weavers at Carnegie Hall, Vol. 2 (1960) more music like this by The Weavers By April 1, 1960, when they recorded their fifth Vanguard album (which was their third live disc and second to be recorded at Carnegie Hall), the Weavers had overcome the loss of Pete Seeger and fully integrated his replacement, Erik Darling, who proved a banjo virtuoso and exuberant humorist (listen to his kazoo solo on "Bill Bailey Come Home"). ... see all copies from $10.45! new only from $12.09!
23 view cover	The Weavers on Tour (1970) more music like this by The Weavers A sleeve note claims this album, like its predecessor, The Weavers at Carnegie Hall, was "recorded on location at Carnegie Hall, Christmas 1955," but other sources suggest it was drawn from subsequent shows. Wherever the recordings were made, the album is a worthy successor to its landmark predecessor, leading off with "Tzena, Tzena, Tzena," a ... see all copies from $28.18!
24 view cover	Folk [Friedman] (1994) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $20.60!
25 view cover	Together Again (1984) more music like this by The Weavers After years apart, the Weavers played together one last time at -- where else? -- Carnegie Hall in November 1980. Lee Hays was ailing (he would die the following year), but the show still transcended nostalgia, demonstrating their individual and collective talents and proving they still were a seminal folk ensemble. William Ruhlmann, All Music ... see all copies from $4.72!
