Pete Seeger - American Favorite Ballads, Vol. 1

Recorded during the heart of the great folk song revival of the 1950s and 1960s, Pete Seeger's American Favorite Ballads was, and is, a classic series of albums. Ballads contains definitive bits of Americana that have been a part of our lives for more than a half century, including songs like This Land is Your Land, America the Beautiful, John Henry, and Shenandoah. This CD is the first in a series of Ballad reissues and is essential for any fan of American folk music to own. Compiled and annotated by Jeff Place and Guy Logsdon.
