Our Take
Our Take
Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, the dynamic duo of folk protest music, have joined forces once again on their latest offering, "The First Rays Of Protest". This album is a delightful throwback to a time when music had the power to inspire change and unite the masses.
From the moment you press play, you're transported back to the turbulent times of the 1960s, where Guthrie and Seeger's voices rang out like beacons of hope in a sea of turmoil. The twangy guitars and heartfelt lyrics remind us of a simpler time, when the power of song could move mountains and topple tyrants.
Tracks like "This Land Is Your Land" and "We Shall Overcome" are anthems of resistance, reminding us that the fight for justice is never truly over. Guthrie's gravelly vocals and Seeger's melodic banjo playing combine to create a sound that is both timeless and relevant in today's tumultuous political climate.
But it's not all serious business on "The First Rays Of Protest". Guthrie and Seeger inject a healthy dose of humour and wit into their music, with tracks like "Talking Dust Bowl Blues" and "If I Had a Hammer" showcasing their playful side.
Overall, "The First Rays Of Protest" is a must-listen for fans of folk music and protest songs. Guthrie and Seeger have once again proven that they are masters of their craft, delivering a joyous and thought-provoking album that will have you tapping your feet and raising your fist in solidarity. Worthy of a standing ovation, this album is a timeless classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection.

From his days with The Weavers to his solo work, Seeger's songs are a stirring call to action, reminding listeners that music has the power to change the world. Whether it's his rendition of "We Shall Overcome" or the joyous sing-alongs of "Turn! Turn! Turn!", Seeger's influence on the folk movement is immeasurable.
