Free Music Notes for The Weavers - Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: This is just great
Hit: 5 Stars
While searching a bin of discounted CDs, I came across this collection. I wasn't enthused, but vaguely remembered a PBS profile of this folk group...and how they "threatened" national stability. Clearly, once you listen to the disc, you realize that the music is just plain great. Most friends won't admit they like folk music, or know who The Weavers are. That is something for them to work out with their God. What I can say is that this music is great with a favorite beverage and the company of good friends. Before you know it, you will be singing along. And just like Pete says, if you don't sing well, sing louder! This is an American Treasure.Free Music Review: Weavers anthology is very enjoyable

The Weavers' concerts were often recorded live. This collection extracts notable tunes from various albums, and re-programs them to simulate a continuous concert. First-time listeners will enjoy the group's tight harmonies and excellent musicianship. Weavers fans will hear some real treats, including a seldom-heard verse of "Goodnight Irene" sung by Pete Seeger, a surprise punchline to "So Long" by Lee Hays, and an exhilarating rendition of "Tzena Tzena Tzena" with its original Hebrew lyrics. Lots to like in this collection.Free Music Review: a trip back in time

I had never heard of the Weavers until I watched a recent PBS documentary. I immediately got online and bought this one. This is a great CD and makes me think how great it must have been "back in the day" to be happy with simpler things (great music) instead of so caught up in all the craziness that is our world today. There are a few songs (Rock Island Line, for example) that make me turn the volume way up and sing along.Free Music Review: One of my Top Favorites

I bought this CD because I have the vinyl album and this has truly been one of the very favorite albums I ever owned. The Weavers have an infectious joy in their singing that I've not heard anywhere else; I tap my feet and sing along and have joy with it also! Seeing the PBS special on them makes it even more special when I know their history and their impressive role in folk music. This is the "real stuff."Free Music Review: very enjoyable

If you don't mind that most of the recordings are live, this is as good a collection of Weavers' tunes as you can find. The sound quality and volume are a bit uneven, but the playing and singing are uniformly excellent and the song selection is like the greatest hits of a generation. The Weavers' harmonizing obviously heavily influenced Peter Paul and Mary, and is endlessly entertaining. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I thought the version of Goodnight Irene was quite good, even if the sound quality isn't perfect.
