Free Music Review: The Best of the Best
Hit: 5 Stars
The group that really lit off the folk explosion of the late 50's and 60's was the Weavers. They were the definitive folk group. With Pete Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert, Fred Hellerman and Lee Hayes, the Weavers created a new musical idiom and set an entire generation singing and playing guitars. When Pete Seeger left the Weavers, there was unbelievable dismay among their fans - me included. Then, in April of 1960, I went to to Carnegie Hall to a concert of the re-constituted Weavers - with Erik Darling replacing Pete Seeger. I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing. With Erik, the Weavers had actually become BETTER!!! The musical selections, the harmonies, and especially Erik Darling's banjo and guitar playing. (Within a week I had gone out and found a 5-string banjo in a Bronx pawn shop which I bought. I didn't have the faintest idea of what to do with it and there weren't many banjo players in the Bronx but 40 years later, I'm still playing.) The Weavers were the BEST. With Erik Darling they were even better - the BEST of the BEST. THis CD captures the essence of those magical days. This is the only recording I have ever thought enough of to give as a gift to people I really care about. I have only had one person not thank me profusely after listening to it (I married her - but not for her musical tastes). Listen to Erik's guitar on "Bill Bailey"and his banjo on "Bowling Green". IMHO, this is the best recording to come out of the folk genre. Kick back, sing along and enjoy.
