Pete Seeger - Singalong - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Pete Seeger TITLE Pete Seeger The Smithsonian Folkways Collection - He was a singer, a rebel, and a voice of the people. With a banjo and a selfless dedication to justice and the transformative power of music, he inspired all of humanity to question the status quo, to sing out and speak up against oppression wherever they witnessed it. His body of work reflects a deep reverence for the earth and all of those who walk on it; you can hear it in his voice and in the voices of the thousands of people who sang and continue to sing with him every day.

Two CD set. Bowdoin, a small liberal arts college in Maine was the setting for this previously unreleased 1960 live performance. It was before the political upheavals and social revolutions that would rock college campuses only a few years later when much more of society synched with Seeger's ideals. A mixed crowd of young folkies, jazz fans, democrats and republicans, heard an exemplary mix of traditional, current topical songs, sea chanteys and world music tunes. Seeger also used this concert as the perfect opportunity to expose students to Lead Belly's music and even managed to get a couple of good digs at Congress. In today's terms, think the former lead singer of a top rock group playing your college. Album Tracks 1. Goofing Off Suite-Opening Theme 2. Penny's Farm 3. He Lies in the American Land 4.
