1	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 ... see all copies from $3.09! new only from $3.09!
2	Chart Toppers: Romantic Hits of the 50s (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Priority's Chart Toppers series is an excellent budget-line collection, offering a strong selection of 15 original hits, grouped by a specific theme and decade, on each disc. Chart Toppers: Romantic Hits of the 50's combines rock & roll, doo wop, pop, easy listening and traditional pop hits -- an eclectic bunch, to say the least, but the variety ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
3	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 $7.80! new only from $14.22!
4	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!
5	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 $11.25!
6	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 $22.00! new only from $22.00!
7	Invisible Tears (1964) more music like this by Ray Conniff Ray Conniff was a remarkable artist who received too little respect for his innovations, and it isn't hyperbole to note that his dreamy, echoey arrangements -- which placed the voices alongside rather than in front of the instruments -- laid a philosophical foundation for dream pop and other fusions of conventional pop songcraft with ethereal ... see all copies from $5.23!
8	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 $4.99!
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 $7.16! new only from $7.16!
10	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 $11.61! new only from $14.42!
11	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!
12 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 $9.87! new only from $9.87!
13 view cover	Silvery Moon (2002) more music like this by Aoife Clancy Most performers get their start listening to records and catching bands at the local bar or stadium. Others, like the sons and daughters of performers, come by their musical heritage more naturally. One can't be terribly surprised when Aoife Clancy, the daughter of Bobby Clancy, joins Cherish the Ladies or releases a Celtic-influenced album like ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $15.65!
14 view cover	Pete Seeger: The Weavers [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by Pete Seeger see all copies from $24.79! new only from $24.79!
15 view cover	The Collection: Their Greatest Hits & Finest Performances (1998) more music like this by Peter, Paul & Mary It may seem amazing that Peter, Paul and Mary did not release a multi-disc retrospective until 1998, partly because they have retained a measure of control over their catalog. This four-CD/cassette retrospective is available only through the Reader's Digest Music mail-order division. Produced by Peter Yarrow, it conforms to Reader's Digest's ... see all copies from $109.00!
16 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 $4.71!
17 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $19.27! new only from $19.27!
18 view cover	Ray Conniff Collection (2003) more music like this by Ray Conniff see all copies from $16.47! new only from $16.47!

22 view cover	Wasn't That a Time? [Living Era] (2006) more music like this by The Weavers When the Weavers (Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman) first hit the pop charts in 1950, they brought with them a fairly radical concept: the notion that music was more than just entertainment but could be used effectively as a force for social change, and it is both ironic and a bit miraculous that the decidedly left-leaning ... see all copies from $11.30! new only from $11.30!
