Guantanamera 19. A Hard Rains Gonna Fall 20. We Shall Overcome "The legendary American Folk singer's career had been seriously knocked off course by the McCarthy witch-hunts into Unamerican Activities in the USA affecting artists believed to be communists. At one stage Seeger was facing a ten year prison sentence, but he managed to visit the UK in 1958. The concert was recorded and issued by the Folklore label which emanated out of the Dobell's record shop on Charing Cross road in West London. In 1964 he was back again and at one concert, at Manchester's Free Trade Hall, he was recorded again. Both concerts on this DOUBLE CD FOR THE PRICE OF ONE set are typical Seeger material of that time. He talks about his friends Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie and champions new songwriters like Tom Paxton and Malvina Reynolds. The concerts also give a wonderful insight to how Seeger worked an audience and had them eating out of his hand. His ability to engage the audience is an object lesson for young performers. The Folklore LPs had limited circulation and the Manchester concert has never been heard before. The booklet comes with an informative essay about Pete Seeger by Joe Stead. " |

03 Jun 16 - 02:33 PM (#3793613) Subject: RE: Pete Seeger - resources From: Joe Offer I hadn't heard of the audiobook Pete Seeger: The Storm King, and I'm intrigued. The production has a Website: I think "Storm King" was the name of Pete's record label. There's a Storm King Mountain across the Hudson River and a bit downstream from Pete's home in Beacon, New York. When I drove the highway on the west side of the Hudson several years ago, it was a treacherous but beautiful drive to get around Storm King. -Joe- |

03 Jun 16 - 03:28 PM (#3793618) Subject: RE: Pete Seeger - resources From: Thomas Stern Hi Joe, My recollection, without searching, is STORMKING was Pete's music publishing company. The storm king CDs are imo a wonderful resource, great to hear Pete's stories, recollections, and philosophy in his last years - I think they were broadcast on NPR a few years ago. The IN ENGLAND CDs will be available through the usual sources at the end of July, probably sooner via the FELLSIDE website (which is being updated). If anyone is interested give them a few days to get up and running. Seeger fans probably have the FOLKLORE LPs, but I look forward to having them on much more convenient CD format, as well as getting the additional previously unreleased concert. Cheers, Thomas. |

Also, our recording of Nonesuch is available through Smithsonian/Folkways. My favorite recording of Pete's is "Darling Corey" though Smithsonian/Folkways. I asked Pete about this recording. He was young then. I thought the banjo accompaniments were brilliant. Pete said, "Yes and it was downhill from then on". I thought that was a funny answer. |
