Format: Audio CD
Townes Van Zandt once said that there's two kinds of music: blues and zippety-doo-dah. Pete Seeger's music never was zippety-doo-dah.
Seeger's finely-tuned sensibilities for the endless complications of the lives of the poor and near-poor, as well as for the trades- and craftspeople of America, has given us some of the most lyrically powerful music of our time. If this album contained certain different songs it would be an easy five star work.
It's still very good. Steve Earle's version of "Walking Down Death Row", Dar Williams' and Toshi Reagon's rendering of "Oh Had I a Golden Thread", Eric Andersen's "Snow, Snow", the McGarrigle Sisters' "Little Boxes", and "You Sing It to Me Too" by Guardabarranco are all outstanding interpretations of Seeger's work.
For 45 years I've loaded a lunch bucket and hauled myself off to work at one job or another. Most of that time I've had a Pete Seeger song or two running around my brain, helping me remember who the good guys are. Pete Seeger somehow knows what that's like.
This album is a fine tribute to a good man, one who never wavered in the good but futile fight for social and economic justice. Carry it on, Pete.

Pete Seeger was one of the first and best of the protest musicians. My original vinyls were scratchy and worn. This CD brought back the thrill of hearing Pete's music and lyrics for the first time, sixty years ago.

Some of the points concerning the review of this volume of the three volume CD set honoring the music of Pete Seeger were previously made in a review of " Pete Seeger: The Power of Song, American Masters Series, PBS, 2006". They apply here equally as well.

Does anyone from the "Generation of '68" who was interested in folk music, and there were legions of us, really remember the first time we heard that thrilling voice of Pete Seeger (generally then accompanied by a banjo). Probably for me it was in some variation of The Weavers' version of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene" but I am really not sure. That deep but nevertheless gentle voice first came at us over the radio or on a record player (A what? I hear the younger set saying-well, old fogies, fill them in later). Not television, however, as this is one folksinger that was banned in Boston, as the old expression went.

Why? Was it because Pete sang randy, racy songs and thus offended the moral scruples of the community? Hell no. Just for the simple act of political expression of not telling the various `distinguished' Congressional committees down in old Washington in the 1950's whether he was or was not a communist. Kid's stuff now but then it meant your life and livelihood if you gave the wrong answer, or worst, no answer. This information is just a little background to demonstrate why, if any other reason was necessary, old Pete (now 89) was being honored in 2001with a three volume CD set of his most enduring works performed by a virtual who's who of old and new folkies, including Joan Baez, Jackson Browne, Arlo Guthrie, Billy Bragg and the late Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer. It was, moreover, nice to hear something produced to pay homage to the man while he still breathes.

If you like Pete Seeger's music, I think you will love this CD. It has a nice assortment of songs done by a variety of musicians. I find myself listening to this a lot because it puts a fresh sound on many old songs I love. Good for singing in the car.
