Free Music Notes for We Shall Overcome: Complete Carnegie Hall Concert
Free Music Review: The Best Folk Singer Ever!
Hit: 5 Stars
Pete Seeger is the most essential folk artist ever. This album proves that. It starts off with Seeger and his banjo, but moves quickly to the songs that made him popular. He also does a few Bob Dylan tunes, including a wonderful version of "A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall." The second disc includes many familiar songs, including "This Land Is Your Land," "We Shall Overcome," and his signature song "Guantanamera." It also includes a number of introductions and conversation with the audience. The original album only had a small portion of this concert. Having the whole show enables a person to hear the magic. Simply one of the best folk albums ever released.Free Music Review: One of the all-time best folk albums
Hit: 5 Stars
I've loved this album since a friend introduced it to me in ninth grade, nearly fourteen years ago. It's a great mix of Seeger classics: audience participation songs like "Sweet Potatoes" (with surprisingly good harmony), anti-war songs, civil rights songs. One of the best things about the live-in-concert aspect to the album, besides the vitality that comes through the sometimes shaky recording, is that you hear Seeger giving some credit to the people who wrote, sang, and suffered these songs before he popularized them. That acknowledgment does a lot to boost his credibility as a civil rights advocate. A few of the songs sound dated, but most of them still resonate.Free Music Review: Oh, My God, It's Been Re-Released
Hit: 5 Stars
This album taps directly into my childhood, like "mac & cheese". My father must have played it ten-thousand times on a little phonograph that he'd build himself, with a balsa-wood tone arm and washers on the back to give it the ounce of weight it needed for the stereo cartridge he'd bought. Ten-thousand times is conservative. Maybe fifty-thousand. I can lip-sync not just the songs, but the intros to the songs.
Seeger is an inspiration. He is a national treasure. I hear his voice, and I start to cry. I hear this album, and it moves me afresh to go out and get involved. He was an amazing poet, civil rights leader, and patriot, and this is his best work.
Free Music Review: Time Capsual
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow. 1963. Pete Seeger. According to "Music Hound's Guide to Folk", Seeger was in his prime when he performed this concert at Carnegie Hall. I'll say he was. He finds the emotion and fun in every song he sings and lets his voice soar. If he hasn't completely blown you away before, this recording will. This is the entire un-cut concert with audience applause, Pete's introductions (and mistakes), and it runs for over 2 hours. It's not the same as being there but it's pretty darn close. Listen to it on the best system you can find, make your self comfortable and transport back in time to 1963. This is why Pete Seeger is the Father of modern Folk.Free Music Review: excellent compilation of various folk music
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a classic folk music album. With Pete Seeger (the best folksinger ever created), Seeger's integrity when he sings, the entire concert (the original album was about 35 minutes) and a compilation of 60's folk songs, traditional folk, civil rights songs, and music from other countries, this album is a compilation of great music. There is also spirit which is enthusiastic for both Seeger and the integrated audience. This is Pete Seeger's all-time best album. A classic.
