Pete Seeger's recording career covers more than 60 years, so a single-CD collection is bound to leave out more than a few worthy songs. But the 16 selections on Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits include indispensable Seeger-composed classics like "Turn! Turn! Turn!," "Bells of Rhymney," and an abbreviated a cappella version of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" Also included are songs Seeger popularized, such as "Wimoweh," which he learned from Solomon Linda's original South African recording in the 1940s, and "Guantanamera," which he picked up from some children at a Catskills summer camp where he was singing. All of the performances are drawn from his 1960s tenure at Columbia Records--only the first 12 tracks were included on the original 1967 package--and include both studio and live recordings. This CD features only a small fraction of the songs that could legitimately be called Seeger's greatest hits, but because most of these selections are so important to his career, this set can be thought of as the greatest of his greatest hits. --Michael Simmons

KNEE DEEP IN THE BIG SANDY.......2007-06-27

I have reviewed some of Pete Seeger's other albums elsewhere, including some remarks concerning our political differences. Whatever those differences may be there is no denying that brother Seeger has for more time than I care to remember been central part of the progresive protest folk music tradition. I actually first hear him with the old Weavers group and I believe that the first song was Leadbelly's Goodnight Irene. Some of the songs on this album were sung by that group,as well. Bells of Rhymney is timeless. I would pay special tribute to Knee Deep in the Big Muddy that is about his World War II military service and written and sung during Vietnam. Except in changing it to the Big Sandy we could be singing it today about the quagmire in Iraq (and seemingly about Afghanistan, as well).

Look elsewhere for the best.......2007-02-20

First off, 5 stars to Pete Seeger for popularizing many songs that went on to become hits for other artists (Seeger, himself, actually only wrote 2 of the songs in this collection). My problem with this set is that most of the songs are live recordings which I find to be annoying. You can sometimes hear the audience make noises during Seeger's performances. Also, the offering is skimpy, only 52:46 minutes of music. Much could have been done to beef up this collection, including offering a full version of "Where have All The Flowers Gone?", though the 2 minute a cappella version is beautiful and a highlight of the CD. The liner notes and photos are good.

Rediscovering an old friend.......2006-07-03

For years I've been listening to other people recording songs that Pete has been doing for years. To hear him doing the originals again, and knowing the efforts he put into doing good for this country is - well - good for the soul. His voice is true and flexible, and the music just plain makes you feel young again.

A Grateful Nation Thanks You.......2006-05-20

With all the hubbub about Bruce Springsteen's latest CD (a worthy purchase I might add) I thought I'd also send a kind note thanking Pete Seeger. Being a child of the '60's I saw Pete Seeger more times than I can count at every protest rally, do-gooder function, event celebrating freedom of speech, protesting war, injustice, violence, pollution, environmental issues, human decency, and down right good neighborliness. Always wearing a well-worn paisley cotton shirt, rolled up sleeves, cordoroy cap, and lived in jeans. If we have a troubador in this lifetime, Pete's it. His heart and soul is in his music. It's also in the right place. Listening to Pete Seeger can't help us to be better human beings. This is as good a place to start. He's as close to Woodie Guthrie as we're going to get in this century. Cherish him.

Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits Review.......2005-09-29

The CD is OK. I bought it mainly for "Waist deep in the Big Muddy" since I am constantly reminded of the tune with the present situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, I have to agree with Pete Seeger on what are considered "Greatest Hits". Surely he didn't pick some of them. His repertoire is truly so vast that covers of other people's songs is not needed. It's rare that I enjoy live recordings as well and I skip the filler "Lion Sleeps Tonight" live recording every time because it's barely audible with all the noise at the concert. I'll remember next time to listen to the audio samples more closely before making a choice. Pete Seeger is a national treasure and I have a "Weavers" CD as well. I guess this could be termed a primer for some unfamiliar with his work.

Incredible roster of talent..........2002-06-02

There arent enough words to describe just how great this set is! It has a ton of hits from the now defunct PWL records/Stock-Aitken-Waterman team.. alot of which you cant find anywhere else. This is THE 80's compilation.. You'll find gems from Sonia,Kylie,Dead or Alive, Bananarama, Donna Summer, Tina Cousins,Rick Astley sounding as good today as they did way back when! I suggest you get a copy before its too late. Great sets like this tend to get deleted rather quickly.. If we're really lucky, there will be a volume 2...

Finally, after 10 years of waiting, it's here!.......2000-12-14

I've been waiting for something like 10 years now to buy this CD. In the late '80s, Stock Aitken Waterman (what a shame those guys aren't working together any more) came out with three "Hit Factory" compilation CDs of their amazing tunes, yet that was never released in the U.S. I looked all over London for those CDs whenever I traveled there in the past few years, but never had any luck tracking them down. Now, at last, thanks to the Internet and to the fact that this compilation has finally been re-released, I was able to puchase this amazing CD.

Meanwhile, I spent hundreds of dollars collecting individual CDs by most of the musicians featured on this CD, but I think it was well worth it. This is wonderful stuff, and I'll listen to it over current "dance music" any day. I hope Waterman will come out with the re-mixes of some of these songs on a CD compilation one day also.
