Recordings by Pete Seeger

If I Had a Hammer: Songs of Hope & Struggle

For over 60 years Pete has performed songs on labor, civil rights, peace, and the hope for a better world. This CD contains 25 tracks selected from hundreds released on Folkways Records in the late 1950s and 1960s & 2 new songs recorded especially for this collection. Just a terrific collection!

Songs range from the deeply political such as Talking Atom, Solidarity Forever, Casey Jones (The Union Scab) & Sydney Carter's powerful Crow on the Cradle to the whimsical Well May the World Go & the tenderly hopeful Oh Had I a Golden Thread. His new song Arrange & Rearrange is a wonderful testimony to a world that never stops changing! Songlist

THE SONGS OF PETE SEEGER

Jim Musselman, founder of Appleseed Records, set out a few years ago to ask a large number of well-known folk and popular artists to record songs written by Pete Seeger for a “tribute album". The results are simply wonderful. The initial volume has been a world-wide best seller. The subsequent 2 volumes are equally moving.

Where Have All the Flowers Gone: The Songs of Pete Seeger, Vol. 1

This includes recordings by Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Cockburn, Ani DiFranco, Sweet Honey & the Rock, Holly Near & dozens of others. The title song is incredibly moving. It was recorded in Ulster by Tommy Sands & Delores Keane with an interfaith Belfast children’s choi, accompanied by Vedran Smailovic, the cellist who played in the central square of Sarajevo during the bombing of that city during the Bosnia war.
35 songs in all.
$25 for double CD

If I Had a Song: The Songs of Pete Seeger, Vol. 2

This single CD includes cuts by Joan Baez, Dar Williams, Jackson Browne, Arlo Guthrie.

Single CD $15

Seeds:The Songs of Pete Seeger, Vol. 3

The 1st CD of this set is Pete's only recording of the last decade. It captures Pete’s voice as it sounds today, with all the “rough edges", passion and commitment for the things he still is saying to the world through his singing at age 84. He sings with his grandson Tao. The 2nd CD has recordings by other artists of Pete's songs, as on Vols 1 & 2. Details on CD

$25 for double CD

HARP: Holly Near, Arlo Guthrie, Ronnie Gilbert & Pete Seeger

Former Weavers Pete Seeger and Ronnie Gilbert, the irrepressible Arlo Guthrie, and Holly Near all brought favorite songs to perform at this classic 1984 concert. Selections include “Wimoweh," a stunning rendition by Ronnie of “The Water is Wide", “Mr. Tambourine Man" (complete with trademark deadpan commentary by Arlo), “City of New Orleans" and Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On." This re-release on CD includes 12 previously unreleased songs. Details on CD

MORE PETE SEEGER ON FOLKWAYS

Sing-Along Demonstration Concert (Pete Seeger)

We particularly love this double cassette/CD, recorded live at Sanders Theatre in Cambridge in 1980. Pete had been frustrated that his live concert recordings mainly picked up his own voice and not the audience’s, so he asked Folkways to mike the audience for this record. You get a wonderful feeling of actually being at a Seeger concert, hearing him teach songs, banter with the audience, hearing the audience learning the songs and the rising harmonies as they join in with Pete.

Songs include: Amazing Grace, the humorous “filksong" version of Old Time Religion, Hole in the Bucket, Old Time Religion, If I Had a Hammer, The Water Is Wide and many others. 2 hours of rousing music!
Double CD $25

AMERICAN FAVORITE BALLADS SERIES

One Pete’s most important series of Folkways recordings in the 1950’s was a series of albums of traditional American folksongs. These are being gradually re-issued on CD. These recordings are spare in the extreme -- just Pete accompanying himself with guitar or banjo. You may well have sung these songs as a child around the campfire or piano. Hundreds of the traditional songs and ballads in Rise Up Singing are on these CD’s. This is the most recent volume to be issued.

Traditional Christmas Carols, Pete Seeger

This is our very favorite Christmas album! Pete’s wonderfully simple renditions of these carols are a stark contrast to most Christmas music.
