Music reviews of We Shall Overcome: Complete Carnegie Hall Concert

Music Review: WHEN PETE WAS " KING"
Rating: 5 Stars

This review is being used to describe several of Pete Seeger's recordings. Although I have listened to most of his songs and recordings the ones selected here represent those that best represent his life's political and musical work.

My musical tastes were formed, as were many of those of the generation of 1968, by `Rock and Roll' music exemplified by the Rolling Stones and Beatles and by the blues revival, both Delta and Chicago style. However, those forms as much as they gave pleasure were only marginally political at best. In short, these were entertainers performing material that spoke to us., and we took that at face value. In the most general sense that is all one should expect of a performer. Thus, for the most part that music and those musicians need not be reviewed here. Those who thought that a new musical sensibility laid the foundations for a cultural or political revolution have long ago been proven wrong.

That said, in the early 1960's there nevertheless was another form of musical sensibility that was directly tied to radical political expression- the folk revival. This entailed a search for roots and relevancy in musical expression. While not all forms of folk music lent themselves to radical politics it is hard to see the 1960's cultural rebellion without giving a nod to such figures as Dave Van Ronk, the early Bob Dylan, Utah Phillips, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and others. Whatever entertainment value these performers provided they also spoke to and prodded our political development. They did have a message and an agenda and we responded to it as such. That these musicians' respective agendas proved inadequate and/or short-lived does not negate their affect on the times.

As I have noted in my review of Dave Van Ronk's work when I first heard folk music in my youth I felt unsure about whether I liked it or not. As least against my strong feelings about the Rolling Stones and my favorite blues artist such as Howling Wolf and Elmore James. Then on some late night radio folk show here in Boston I heard Dave Van Ronk singing `Come All You Fair and Tender Ladies' and that was it. From that time to the present folk music has been a staple of my musical tastes. From there I expanded my play list of folk artists with a political message, including obviously Pete Seeger.

Although I had probably heard Seeger's `Had I a Golden Thread' at some earlier point I actually learned about his music secondhand from a recording of Songs of the Spanish Civil War which included `Viva la Quince Brigada' a tribute to the American Abraham Lincoln Battalion of the International Brigades. Since I was intensely interested in that fight in Spain and in that "premature anti-fascist" organization I was hooked. While like Woody Guthrie Seeger's influence has had its ebbs and flows since that time each succeeding generation of folk singers still seems to be drawn to his simple, honest tunes about the previous political struggles and the ordinary people who made this country, for good or evil what it is today.

Pete's relationship with the American Communist Party while no secret is not widely known. As with Woody what is interesting is that the subjects of his songs fairly closely reflect the party line as it changed to reflect the winds blowing from Moscow. Pete's best work, like Woody's is reflected in the People's Front style of ` Where Have All The Flowers Gone' and the above-mentioned "Golden Thread" reflecting that party's further development of its class collaborationist policy with the Democratic Party. That is, giving up the fight for an independent working class party based on its won program. Politcal differences between us aside, listen to Seeger's recordings and learn about hard times and struggle from earlier times. You deserve to treat yourself to that voice, instrument and message.

Description of We Shall Overcome: Complete Carnegie Hall Concert

Pete Seeger, who began recording in the early 1940s, is perhaps the most influential figure in the American folk revival, a walking repository of song who's had an immense influence in popularizing folk music with mainstream audiences. The 2 CD We Shall Overcome is an expanded version of a classic 1963 live album that offers an excellent example of Seeger's activist passion and good-humored humanity. This expanded edition contains the entire 40-song concert, making it almost three times longer than the original vinyl incarnation. The typically eclectic and heartfelt program, encompassing civil-rights anthems and anti-war pleas, along with tunes from England, Russia, Brazil, and the Caribbean, provides an excellent introduction to the artist. --Scott Schinder
