3.0 out of 5 stars For Kids and Just Plain Folks, March 14, 2000

This review is from: For Kids & Just Plain Folks (Audio CD)

I am a big Pete Seeger fan, but I was very disappointed with this album. The material is classic and very singable. This album, however, is live and features a VERY LOUD concert audience who sing along with the music, but not really in unison. They actually drown out Seeger's voice so that you can barely hear him. The result is very chaotic and hard to listen to even though I love the songs. This would have been a great concert to attend in person, but it is extremely annoying to listen to the recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like you were there, July 12, 2000

Most of the tracks from this album feature stories by Pete Seeger complete with the interactions of the audience. As I listen to the catchy tunes (with my 2yr old daughter, who loves it), I feel transported back to the concert and drawn into Pete's wonderfully anecdotal world. I feel the audience background augments the experience. You can even use the tracks as a chance to educate a younger one on the world back in the late 60's/early 70's.

Not just great tunes, but great stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic music for everyone, August 23, 1998

I have been humming the tunes on this CD ever since I bought it. I bought it to share with my one year old son. He seems to like "Put your Finger in the Air." I have found myself singing "Hobo's Lullaby" to him on several occassions. It is wonderful how much joy can come from one mans voice playing a small stringed intrument. The comments that Seeger makes regarding folk music and how it came to be are also quite nice. If you are looking for a toe tapper or blues buster this is one for you.
