Music reviews of Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits
Music Review: Songs you should know by heart
Rating: 5 Stars
Pete Seeger has always been one to combine folk music with socially relevant lyrics in a way that captures the imagination of just about everyone. In this collection, there is a wide selection of pieces from children's songs like "Wimoweh" to cautionary songs like "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" to political songs like "Talking Union." Granted, this only represents a sliver of his prodigious output over the years, but is great for a rainy day or for introducing young ones to the power of his "hammer." Seeger is indeed a national treasure and at 90 is still going strong, as witnessed at Madison Square Garden this past May.
Description of Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits
Pete Seeger's recording career covers more than 60 years, so a single-CD collection is bound to leave out more than a few worthy songs. But the 16 selections on Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits include indispensable Seeger-composed classics like "Turn! Turn! Turn!," "Bells of Rhymney," and an abbreviated a cappella version of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" Also included are songs Seeger popularized, such as "Wimoweh," which he learned from Solomon Linda's original South African recording in the 1940s, and "Guantanamera," which he picked up from some children at a Catskills summer camp where he was singing. All of the performances are drawn from his 1960s tenure at Columbia Records--only the first 12 tracks were included on the original 1967 package--and include both studio and live recordings. This CD features only a small fraction of the songs that could legitimately be called Seeger's greatest hits, but because most of these selections are so important to his career, this set can be thought of as the greatest of his greatest hits. --Michael SimmonsGeneral CDs
