| | Essential Pete Seeger CD Pete Seeger Discography of CDs
The impact of Pete Seeger's music, performances, and political activism has been enormous. In a league with Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, Seeger lifted the torch of both traditional folk and the protest song in the 1940s, and kept it burning brightly for decades. THE ESSENTIAL PETE SEEGER sets itself the task of fitting the artist's most important recordings onto one disc. Naturally, a lot of significant material goes missing, but the 15 tracks here provide an excellent cursory overview of the man's accomplishments.
This 2005 collection kicks off with one of Seeger's best-known compositions, "If I Had a Hammer," an inspirational tune that became an anthem of struggle in the 1960s. "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?," another Seeger-penned classic, is also here, while his versions of traditional songs ("Barbara Allen" and "John Henry") prove that he is as gifted as an archivist and interpreter as a songwriter. Whether singing the music of his comrades Woody Guthrie ("This Land Is Your Land") and Leadbelly ("Goodnight Irene" with the Weavers) or inspiring the masses with "We Shall Overcome," the size of Seeger's legend is justly outlined. Excellent liner notes and testimonials from friends and fans (including Joan Baez, Billy Bragg, and Roger McGuinn) help make this a fine introduction.
Personnel: Pete Seeger (vocals, 6-string guitar, 12-string guitar, banjo); Almanac Singers, The Weavers.
Liner Note Author: Dave Marsh.

This 1997 reissue of ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? is a remastered version that restores the original LP's track order and album artwork. ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? was previously reissued in 1993 (MCA 10893) with new cover art and a new 17-track running order that included all the songs on either the U.S. or U.K. versions of the original LP. That version is now out of print, and has been replaced by this one, on the Experience Hendrix label, which features remastered versions of the same 17 songs, this time in the order they appeared on the original American LP, with the extra tracks added to the end (a separate version was simultaneously released in the U.K., featuring ...

During the seven-year span covered on Overloaded, Sugababes released four albums and 16 singles, while they lost -- and replaced -- two members. Twelve of those singles, in addition to a pair of new songs, make up the disc. It's an ideal introduction to the group since its four omissions (three of which made up their formative debut) were the four lowest-performing chart-wise, and it just so happens that they were also the least memorable of the bunch. Each of the 12 songs that form the basis of the disc placed in the U.K.'s Top Ten; four of them reached the very top, from the Richard X-produced "Freak Like Me" to the Dallas Austin-produced "Push the Button" -- two of the most clever and suggestive pop singles of the decade. "Good to Be Gone" and "Easy," the first two completely new songs recorded with Amelle Berrabah, indicate that the group hasn't lost any of its momentum. Unfortunately, despite their tremendous amount of appeal and popularity across Europe, they've never been given much of a chance in the States. A domestic issue of Three was planned and then scrapped, though "Hole in the Head" and "Round Round" did impact the dance charts. ~ Andy Kellman
UK pressing features one bonus track over the International edition. Undoubtedly one of the most innovative, exciting and consistently successful groups in the UK, Sugababes have been at the top of their game since their debut single 'Overload', in 2000. 2 Brit Awards, 4 Number Ones and two new band members later and Sugababes release their Singles Collection, featuring the brand new single, 'Easy', a collaborative effort with Californian rockers Orson. 'Overloaded: Singles Collection' spans their four studio albums, including the Richard X produced hit 'Freak Like Me' (their first Number 1), the sensational pop ...
