Mark Torres Travel Tips For Aztlan KPFK 90.7FM Los Angeles
This release is an essential purchase for those who enjoy folk music or are excavating the folk music tradition. The Weavers were one of the first groups to attain commercial success when their version of Leadbelly's Goodnight Irene was a number 1 single in America for 7 weeks in 1950...!!!
Their success began a folk music resurgence that would eventually bring us the likes of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, Judy Collins, Buffie St. Marie, Phil Ochs, The Kingston Trio and countless others
All this from a group that was hounded by HUAC, blacklisters and boycotters and was eventually forced to concede any dream they might have had to make a living from their music. They didn't even release or perform their beautifully happy and hopeful song If I Had A Hammer because of the relentless pressure on them. Of course all was forgotten when Pete Paul and Mary made a hit of If I had a Hammer a decade later.
The weakest part of this release is the lack of liner notes to tell their story and put their accomplishments in perspective... The music is wonderful.
Still the old magic
I would have given this review 5 stars because the Weavers are the Weavers and these are such wonderful songs. My only disappointment is that I'm afraid I've grown accustomed to the big sound of modern recordings and I wish there were some way they could boost the sound of this one. I suppose several tracks is too much to ask for, but it sounds a bit two-dimensional.
not good folk
maybe good for weaver fans, but frankly i think of the weavers as sellouts to pop music. if you want good lee hays or pete seeger, listen to the almanac singers, where they at least have woody guthrie.
