1	Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits [2002] (2002) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist "Greatest Hits," as Seeger himself wryly wrote in his liner notes, is a misnomer considering that he never had hit singles or huge-selling albums as a solo artist, though actually "Little Boxes" (included here) made the lower reaches of the charts. In reality this 1967 compilation (since reissued on CD) collects the most popular tracks of his 1962 ... see all copies from £4.22! new only from £4.22!
2	The Weavers at Carnegie Hall (1957) more music like this by The Weavers add to wishlist Despite having scored a series of major hits in the early '50s, starting with "Goodnight Irene," which topped the charts for 13 weeks, the Weavers were hounded out of existence in 1953 as part of the anti-Communist witch hunts. Although Senator Joseph McCarthy, whose scurrilous activities gave the McCarthy Era its name, had been condemned by the ... see all copies from £7.19! new only from £7.19!
3	The Essential Pete Seeger [Sony] (2005) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist Pete Seeger is the sort of person who has become the stuff of legend for all the best reasons. As a musicologist, he's been a passionate archivist of folk songs of all sorts from around the world for most of his life, and thousands of people (perhaps millions) would not have heard songs such as "Goodnight Irene," "This Land Is Your Land" and ... see all copies from £3.06! new only from £5.14!
4	Greatest Hits (1957) more music like this by The Weavers add to wishlist This is an excellent double-disc compilation of this group's more directly folk-related work from the mid 50s to the mid 60s. Note, however, that these are not the original Weavers recordings of their hits. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.10! new only from £9.44!
5	Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Fishes (Little & Big) (1998) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist Previously available on two separate 1955 Folkways LPs (Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Little Fishes and Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Bigger Fishes), this CD combines both of these children's records onto one disc, complete lyrics included in the accompanying booklet. As the titles make plain, the songs were devoted to animals of all sorts; Birds, Beasts, ... see all copies from £8.10! new only from £9.09!
6	A Child's Celebration of Song (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This outstanding album offers children's classics of the past fifty years featuring original recordings of these great artists. Titles include: Sweet Honey in the Rock--"Little Red Caboose," and James Taylor--"Jelly Man Kelly," Loggins and Messina--"House at Pooh Corner," Judy Garland--"Over the Rainbow," Burl Ives--"Polly Wolly Doodle," Pete ... see all copies from £3.92! new only from £8.06!
7	A Tribute to Woody Guthrie (1972) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist CBS's Tribute to Woody Guthrie features loving interpretations of the folk singer's works from artists like Will Geer, Earl Robinson, and Robert Ryan. Judy Collins performs "Union Man," "Deportee," and "Roll on Columbia," while Bob Dylan interprets "I Ain't Got No Home" and "Dear Mrs. Roosevelt." Joan Baez's "Hobo's Lullaby," Tom Paxton's ... see all copies from £8.10! new only from £9.62!
8	Folkways: A Vision Shared - A Tribute to Woody Guthrie & Leadbelly (1988) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This is a solid collection of alternately exuberant and faithful covers of the songs of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. Great cuts are Little Richard's fuel-injected "Rock Island Line," and Springsteen's "Vigilante Man." Bob Dylan does "Pretty Boy Floyd." ~ Richard Meyer, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.72! new only from £4.83!
9	Abiyoyo (And Other Songs and Stories) (1967) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist What can one say about the father of it all? He has been a staple in this music for a long, long time. His voice and banjo -- and his life -- stand for positive values for people in general, especially on this album. For ages three to seven. ~ Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide see all copies from £6.19! new only from £8.85!
10	Children's Concert at Town Hall (1963) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist There have been no shortage of memorable live albums by Pete Seeger across the decades -- and, in fact, the Carnegie Hall concert from this same era has tended to eclipse a lot of the other performance documents of Seeger's work from the '60s. But this album has a special charm, showing Seeger directing his appeal at a younger audience which he ... see all copies from £4.34! new only from £4.34!
11	American Roots Music [Box Set] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The successes of the breakthrough soundtrack from the film O Brother Where Art Thou? and the in-depth PBS television series Ken Burns' Jazz seem to have combined in the 2001 production of Palm Pictures' four-part TV series American Roots Music. The series touches on the development of the distinctly American styles of traditional folk, country, ... see all copies from £19.23! new only from £23.92!
12	Folk Music of the World (1991) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist A CD compilation of two albums Pete Seeger recorded under the same title in the late '50s, Folk Music of the World sounds like Seeger's response to Theodore Bikel's big-selling series of albums devoted to the local folk music of various countries. There's little attempt to be "faithful" in any literal sense, as Seeger performs all of the songs in ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.68!
13	If I Had a Hammer: Songs of Hope & Struggle (1998) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist Pete Seeger's repertoire was not limited to songs with specific sociopolitical goals, and the most familiar versions of his most popular tunes were done for Columbia. Still, it's hard to imagine doing better than this compilation of Folkways recordings (most from the late '50s and '60s) if you want evidence of Seeger's importance and skills as a ... see all copies from £6.22! new only from £10.45!
14	American Favorite Ballads, Vol. 1 [2002] (1957) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist The title of this reissue might seem straightforward enough, but before discussing the music, its exact contents need some explanation. In the late '50s and early '60s, Seeger did five volumes of a series entitled American Favorite Ballads. Although this CD is called American Favorite Ballads, Vol. 1, it is not the same as the first of the ... see all copies from £9.26! new only from £10.45!
15	Childern's Music Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist There are over 200 children's recordings in the Folkways catalog. This is not just a smart collection of 26 of the best items from that body of work; it's also folk music that adults might actually listen to for pleasure, at least for part of the time. There are kids' songs, or at least songs that are fun for kids to sing, from such folk giants as ... see all copies from £8.04! new only from £8.04!
16	Singalong: Live at Sanders Theatre, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1980 (1980) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist This is not simply a live recording. It is a carefully planned project to document a life's work. Seeger describes it in his own words: "Before my voice, memory and sense of rhythm and pitch were too far gone I decided, at age sixty, to document one of my two-hour 'concerts' such as I have given for over twenty-five years, usually at colleges... ... see all copies from £9.97! new only from £15.63!
17	We Shall Overcome: The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert (1989) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist We Shall Overcome: The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert shows that Pete Seeger was at his apex as a performer and as an influential figure in the surging folk movement when John Hammond turned on the Columbia Records tape machine to capture this performance. Out flowed stories, traditional songs, covers of songs by new songwriters like Bob Dylan, ... see all copies from £10.50! new only from £10.50!
18	Wasn't That a Time?: The Best of the Weavers (2004) more music like this by The Weavers add to wishlist see all copies from £6.85! new only from £6.85!
19	A Link in the Chain (1996) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist While the neophyte might be better advised to start with the 20-track 1972 Columbia compilation The World of Pete Seeger, this collection would make a good second purchase to hear the highlights of Seeger's major-label sojourn. Eschewing such favorites as "Little Boxes" (Seeger's sole chart single) and "If I Had a Hammer" (which Seeger co-wrote), ... see all copies from £11.32! new only from £11.32!
20	Reunion at Carnegie Hall, 1963 (1963) more music like this by The Weavers add to wishlist The Weavers celebrated their 15th anniversary by performing two concerts -- May 2 and 3, 1963 -- at Carnegie Hall, the site of their historic 1955 comeback concert, and inviting back former members Pete Seeger and Erik Darling as well as introducing new member Bernie Krause. The shows served to reaffirm the status of a group that had fostered the ... see all copies from £10.27! new only from £10.27!
21	Stories and Songs for Little Children (1994) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist This cassette is a collection of Pete Seeger's greatest hits for the younger child. The stories in these tapes are free of violence and sexism and contain beautiful music and sing-alongs such as "Raccoon's Got a Bushy Tail" and "I Know an Old Lady." ~ MusD, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.05! new only from £10.19!
22	Where Have All the Flowers Gone: The Songs of Pete Seeger (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist After listening to this multi-artist two-CD celebration of Pete Seeger's songs, you'll be delighted to read in the liner notes that it's "just the beginning of at least four volumes." Producer Jim Musselman calls the package a "labor of love," and that's clearly what it was. Musselman did a terrific job of choosing the songs from Seeger's vast ... see all copies from £8.80! new only from £19.31!
23	In Their Own Words, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The second volume of Razor & Tie's In Their Own Words series features songwriters as diverse as William Bell, Billy Bragg, Difford & Tilbrook, Suzanne Vega, John Cale, General Johnson, and David Johansen, playing acoustic versions of their songs and telling tales of how they compose. For anyone interested in the art of songcraft, it's an essential ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £9.97!
24	Seeds: The Songs of Pete Seeger, Vol. 3 (2003) more music like this by Pete Seeger add to wishlist In his 60-some years as a public performer, Pete Seeger has left an indelible footprint on popular music. As a member of the Almanac Singers (with Woody Guthrie, Lee Hays, and Millard Lampell) in the 1940s and the Weavers (again with Lee Hays, as well as Fred Hellerman and Ronnie Gilbert) a decade later, Seeger helped midwife the urban folk boom ... see all copies from £14.53! new only from £14.53!
25	Precious Friend (1982) more music like this by Arlo Guthrie/Pete Seeger add to wishlist Recorded in late summer of 1981, Precious Friend, the second of Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger's live collaborations, is pretty much what you would expect. Seeger is his usual folksy self, leading the crowd through a series of folk tunes ranging from the traditional African chant "Wimoweh (Mbube)" to Harry Chapin's "Circles," while Guthrie mixes his ... see all copies from £9.89! new only from £9.89!
