Where Have All The Flowers Gone: The Songs Of Pete Seeger CD

List All Reviews

 The spirit of Pete Seeger not in these performances.
As a Pete Seeger influenced Folk musician, playing 12-string and 5-string banjo learnt from Pete's records and instruction manuals, I was appalled by the artists chosen for this collection with the exception of Roger Mcguinn and Judy Collins, (both of whom have sounded better.Billy Bragg does NOT belong here, neither do Bonny Raitt (overaitted!) or Jackson Browne trying to be over clever with a ghastlty reggae version of the classic 'Kisses sweeter than wine'. Bruce Cockburn Kills Seeger's classic song Turn,Turn,Turn, and Martin Simpson could have at least attempted to play Living in the Country as it should be played on a 12-string guitar. Even Ronny Gilbert is awful and some of the other artists are trying too hard to be different. All in all a very unsatisfying experience for a Seeger fan.How come Tao Rogriguez Seeger was eliminated from either of these two disks as well as Arlo Guthrie. Record companies are still controlling music So Pete Seeger is definitely "STILL SEARCHING"
