Synopsis

Album Description

Pete Seeger's life, music, and legacy encapsulate nearly a century of American history and culture. He has immersed himself in folk music and used it, like Johnny Appleseed, to "plant the seeds of a better tomorrow in the homes across our land." The songs in this collection of 139 American Favorite Ballads narrate tales of ordinary people and their extraordinary deeds, and show Pete at the crossroads of the past and the future putting his own stamp on America's folk song heritage while bequeathing it to generations to come. 5 CDs, each with its own booklet of extensive notes, nearly 6 hours of music!

CD Reviews

Pure joy from beginning to end

Robert Tucker | 06/02/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"What a great collection of folk songs by master folk song interpreter Pete Seeger. Each song rings with honesty and earthy joy, resounding in authenticity and energy. Seeger approaches the songs naturally without forcing text or music to fit into a prescribed scheme. The songs seem to flow out of his heart and each performance demonstrates a depth of understanding of the history of each song.

This collection is unparalled for its comprehensive look at the wonderfully complex world of the American folk song. As I listened, it brought back memories of childhood songs that somehow have stayed with me for many years in spite of their dormancy. Seeger is a master at interpretation and we are indebted to him for this collection."

Superb

Kevin J. Roberts | 05/06/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I find it to be very ironic that the works of two of the biggest rebels in American cultural history, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, are published, marketed and sold by the American government.

Of course this is a consequence of the Smithsonian acquiring the Folkways archives. But it doesn't take away from the irony. The Smithsonian isn't marketing the works of Joe McCarthy!!

Grab this set while you can. The original records are next to impossible to find. The booklets that come with each CD are very well written

"

"This is a compilation all Seeger fans have been waiting, late fifties and early sixties in one box with fine liner notes. There is also an exellent 3-disc compilation " Rainbow Race / "Now" / "Young vs. Old" from 1969-71 available to complete your perfect Pete Seeger marathon."
