Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits Review

The CD is OK. I bought it mainly for "Waist deep in the Big Muddy" since I am constantly reminded of the tune with the present situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, I have to agree with Pete Seeger on what are considered "Greatest Hits". Surely he didn't pick some of them. His repertoire is truly so vast that covers of other people's songs is not needed. It's rare that I enjoy live recordings as well and I skip the filler "Lion Sleeps Tonight" live recording every time because it's barely audible with all the noise at the concert. I'll remember next time to listen to the audio samples more closely before making a choice. Pete Seeger is a national treasure and I have a "Weavers" CD as well. I guess this could be termed a primer for some unfamiliar with his work.

Very Talented Songwriter

I wanted to explore His Work having heard alot about Him.I liked "We Shall Overcome" from Him but the Main Song I wanted to hear was "Where have all the FLowers Gone"? Being a Huge Earth,Wind&Fire Fan I had to hear the Original&His Version is nice.I like His Arrangements&Overall Concepts to Music Making.a really Good Set.

A 'very nice' collection !

If you are willing to try just 1 CD of Pete Seeger to get an idea about his music, listen to this. It has almost all his hits.
