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.

At Carnegie Hall (2006) more music like this

by The Weavers

The Weavers were a social and cultural anomaly. A politicized, left-leaning folk group who scored massive pop hits with orchestrated versions of sugary gentle songs like "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" and Leadbelly's "Goodnight Irene," songs that were anything but political, the Weavers were portrayed as a collective version of the Big Bad Wolf when ...
