Peter, Paul & Mary
It speaks well for the continued viability of their catalog (probably second only to Bob Dylan's among '60s folk artists) that this is only the sixth compilation ever done on Peter, Paul & Mary's music in four decades of musical activity -- and since one of the others was a Readers' Digest mail-order release and two of the others were done for ...

by
Peter, Paul & Mary
The debut album by Peter, Paul & Mary is still one of the best albums to come out of the 1960s folk music revival, a beautifully harmonized collection of the best songs that the group knew, stirring in its sensibilities and its haunting melodies, crossing between folk, children's songs, and even gospel ("If I Had My Way"), and light-hearted just ...

by
Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass
Building upon South of the Border's (1964) Top Ten success, Herb Alpert dismissed the contingency of Los Angeles-based studio instrumental all-stars, which he had christened the Tijuana Brass. Because there was enough demand for live dates, just like a musical Gepetto, Alpert formed a real Tijuana Brass. The bandleader/trumpeter was joined by ...

Ten Years Together: The Best of Peter, Paul & Mary

by
Peter, Paul & Mary
For many years, this 13-song collection was the best introduction to Peter, Paul & Mary that one could find. Not only did it contain all of the trio's hits, but it was also, until 2005's Warner/Rhino compilation The Very Best of Peter, Paul & Mary, the closest thing to a cross-section of the group's sound that existed. From the acoustic folk sound ...

Thievery Corporation
The trip-hopping, echo-loving production duo Thievery Corporation already proved they were top-notch remixers with their Abductions and Reconstructions collection, but seven years have passed so another set of their fine re-dubbing is desirable. Surprising names like the Doors and Herb Alpert sit next to usual suspects like Bebel Gilberto and ...

by
The Kingston Trio
While a modern-day listener may find folk music somewhat simple in content and approach, these factors were exactly what made the music so appealing in the late '50s and early '60s. No more than a guitar and a voice were needed to set forth ballads of love and murder. To many youths of the time, the music contrasted sharply with the materialism of ...

Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass
Rewhipped amounts to a pseudo-addition to the original Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass catalog. This album of remixes by late-'90s and 2000-era DJs features new trumpet solos by Herb Alpert on seven tracks. All the cuts here appeared on the original 1965 release, Whipped Cream & Other Delights, though not in the same order. Before rolling your ...

Collection
(1998)
more music like this
by
The Seekers
A good sounding, 22-song collection of tracks, most of them -- rather surprisingly -- from 1964, and weighted a little more toward folk than pop. "Georgy Girl" is here, along with "I'll Never Find Another You," but pieces like "Come the Day" aren't, so this is hardly a valid cross-section of the group's work or sound. It is a decent place for the ...

Peter, Paul and Mary
Peter, Paul & Mary's multi-decade career is for the most part well summarized, and certainly extremely well packaged, on this four-CD, 90-track box set. As with many such boxes, there's too much on here if you're not a devoted fan, and too much in particular from their post-early-'70s recordings, which take up all of disc four. But it does, of ...

Folk Hits of the '60s

Various Artists
The folk scene of the '60s is often portrayed as self-indulgent and lacking in the humor department. Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, and Tim Buckley certainly didn't come across as ideal candidates for a Laugh-In walk on! These guys were serious artists with serious things to say -- and things to protest against, too. But there actually was a much lighter ...

Although the Seekers have a five-CD box set released in Australia, it's hard to argue with the title of this two-disc European compilation, which focuses on the group's mid-'60s heyday. In the U.S., they were a two-hit wonder, those hits being "I'll Never Find Another You" and "Georgy Girl." In the U.K., they had six Top Ten hits, plus a couple ...

The final album by the original Kingston Trio shows no sign of the group slackening its standards or rushing through the material. In addition to the jaunty "Billy Goat Hill," which rated a place on the group's first greatest hits collection, the trio turned in a surprisingly effective interpretation of Woody Guthrie's "Pastures of Plenty"; ...

Anyone nostalgic for the period of music covered throughout Madacy's Rock N Roll Reunion series won't be alone. As the label thankfully indicates at the top of each edition, the songs included are not the original versions; instead, they are newly recorded takes by the original artists. Unsurprisingly, there is never an instance in which a new ...

This curious release consists of 16 of the 36 tracks featured on the first three Peter, Paul & Mary albums, Peter, Paul & Mary, Moving, and In the Wind, and its cover even swipes the cover photograph from Moving, reproducing it three times in progressively worse quality. That's a good analogy for the musical contents. While the selection includes ...
