| | Pete Seeger Traditional Christmas Carols CD Pete Seeger Discography of CDs
Though they often get overlooked in the holiday blitz of Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," and the Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick," there are few holiday treasures more satisfying than traditional Christmas carols. Pete Seeger's 1967 collection of yuletide traditionals, simply titled TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS CAROLS, is one of the best. Seeger sings these tunes alone, accompanying himself on banjo and guitar. Some of them are hundreds of years old, and they're rendered with grace and reverence. From familiar tunes like "The First Noel" and "What Child Is This?" to more obscure carols like "Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming" and "12 Gates to the City," Seeger's choices are exquisite. The two versions--vocal and instrumental--of the lovely "Carol of the Beasts" are as beautiful as holiday sings get.

$6.75  
While the 2000 edition of this classic Johnny Cash performance, AT SAN QUENTIN (THE COMPLETE 1969 CONCERT), led listeners to believe that it presented the show in its entirety, this comprehensive two-CD/one-DVD reissue set proves that notion to be not quite true. Boasting a total of 31 tracks, the audio discs feature all of the songs from SAN QUENTIN's previous incarnations, most notably the country icon's definitive reading of the witty Shel Silverstein tune "A Boy Named Sue," but it also makes room for additional Cash numbers, including the fierce "Blistered," and tunes by other members of Cash's traveling show, such as Carl Perkins (a rollicking version of his own "Blue Suede Shoes") and the Statler Brothers (the upbeat "Flowers on the ...

| | Very Best Of Woody Guthrie CD (2005)
Traditional Christmas Carols album
$13.65
Ever since 1947, when record company owner Moses Asch declared bankruptcy and his former partner and creditor Herbert Harris of Stinson Records held onto a batch of Asch's Woody Guthrie masters in lieu of payment, those tracks, a small part of a cache of hundreds of casually recorded songs Guthrie and such friends as Cisco Houston and Sonny Terry made starting in April 1944, have been issued over and over on albums that, while unauthorized, are not strictly speaking illegal. (Asch disputed Harris' ownership of the tracks, but neither had the wherewithal to pursue claims in court.) The first of these albums were on Stinson Records, of course, but they have appeared on many labels since. Here is another collection of a baker's dozen of them, licensed from San Juan Music Group by Purple Pyramid. Of course, they are not "the very best of" Woody Guthrie by any stretch of the imagination, just some old folk songs, sometimes boasting new lyrics from Guthrie, and the occasional Guthrie original, such as "Pretty Boy Floyd." With Houston chiming in on tenor vocals here and there, plus Sonny Terry's harmonica added to the guitar and/or mandolin accompaniment, the style is somewhat akin to the old-timey country music of such '30s artists as the Monroe Brothers. But, for the most part, this is not the Woody Guthrie of "This Land Is Your Land," and thus far from his best. Purple Pyramid has taken two actions to separate its release from the pack of similar competitors, one laudable, but the other deplorable. Bringing in Dave Thompson to write liner notes on each individual song was a good idea, along with listing recording dates and personnel. But employing one Danny B. Harvey to undertake a "remix" of "Worried Man Blues" (billed as a "bonus track") was a disastrously bad idea. Of course, "remix" in this context means that Harvey has overdubbed instruments on the existing track; he turns "Worried Man Blues" into a Carl Perkins-like rockabilly track with the addition of guitar, acoustic bass, and snare drum. The result is just as bad as it sounds like it would be, turning this disc into a mockery. ~ William Ruhlmann
The Woody Guthrie album Worried Man Blues: The Best Of, released by Master Classics in 2005, is identical in contents and annotations to the Woody Guthrie album The Very Best Of released by Purple Pyramid in 2001. Ever since 1947, when record company ...
