About This Item
Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums by one of the all-time great singer songwriters to come out of the New York Greenwich Village folk scene of the early ‘60s. Both albums appear for the first time on CD. All songs composed by Tom Paxton. Peace Will Come was released in 1972. The title track was picked up by Pete Seeger and can be heard to this day at peace rallies across the world. A host of great British musicians perform on this album with backing vocals provided by Mary (Hopkin) Visconti. New Songs For Old Friends was released in 1973. Recorded live before an invited audience at the Marquee Club in London, it contains all new songs rather than regurgitating previously recorded material. Guest singers and musicians include Mary (Hopkin) Visconti, Ralph McTell, Peter Sarstedt and Danny Thompson. Both albums are produced by Tony Visconti. Album Tracks 1. Peace Will Come 2.
