Our Take

In his latest release, "PETE SEEGER Favourite Ballads - Vol. 3," the legendary folk singer delivers a delightful collection of timeless tunes that will have you tapping your feet and swaying along in no time. With his signature banjo twang and heartfelt vocals, Seeger effortlessly transports listeners to a simpler time where music was more about storytelling than auto-tune.

From the rousing anthem of "We Shall Overcome" to the haunting beauty of "Barbara Allen," Seeger showcases his incredible range and passion for preserving the history of American folk music. Each track is like a musical time capsule, offering a glimpse into the past while also feeling fresh and relevant in today's world.

One standout moment on the album is Seeger's rendition of "Turn! Turn! Turn!," a song made famous by The Byrds in the 1960s. With his warm, weathered voice and stripped-down arrangement, Seeger brings a new sense of wisdom and poignancy to the song, reminding us that some messages truly stand the test of time.

Overall, "PETE SEEGER Favourite Ballads - Vol. 3" is a must-listen for fans of folk music and anyone looking for a little bit of nostalgia in their playlist. Seeger's music has never sounded better, and this album is a perfect showcase of his enduring talent and passion for storytelling through song. Grab your banjo and settle in for a musical journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Pete Seeger

Pete Seeger, the legendary folk musician and social activist, is a name that needs no introduction. With a career spanning over seven decades, Seeger is a true icon of American music. From folk anthems like "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" to protest songs like "We Shall Overcome," Seeger's music has not only entertained but also inspired generations of listeners. Born in 1919 in New York City, Seeger was immersed in music from a young age, thanks to his parents' passion for folk music. He learned to play the banjo and guitar, and by the time he was in his twenties, he was already making a name for himself in the music scene. But it wasn't just Seeger's musical talent that set him apart - it was his unwavering commitment to using his music as a tool for social change. He was a vocal supporter of civil rights, environmental conservation, and peace activism, and his songs often reflected his political beliefs. Seeger's influence on the folk music scene cannot be overstated. He was a founding member of the influential group The Weavers, and his solo career was equally impressive. His music touched the hearts of people around the world, and his legacy continues to inspire musicians to this day. In 2009, at the age of 90, Seeger performed at President Barack Obama's inauguration, proving that age is no barrier to making great music. Pete Seeger may no longer be with us, but his music lives on, a testament to the power of song to change the world.
