Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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

- Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits.
Really nice CD for a general overview of Pete Seeger's music through the years. I'm still looking for a CD that has the music from the DVD "Power of Song" on it. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

- Wonderful!
Pete Seeger is a national treasure but also is our national conscience. In these songs and in nearly everything else he does Pete holds up a mirror to us.
"Waist deep in the big muddy" is as relevant today as it ever was.
Every song on this is great but since they are live recordings sometimes the recording quality falls a little short. That shouldn't dissuade anyone because Pete Seeger is probably always been at his best with a live audience.

Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits is a collection of songs that were sung in the 60's. Listening to the album brought me back to a time of hope for a kinder, fairer world. Some songs were serious and some were just fun.

This recording was one of my favorites. When I sold all of my LPs, I was so sure I'd replace every single one w/ a CD. Of course I didn't. But the PBS show on Seeger reminded me that I wanted to hear these songs again.

If Seeger's story, his patriotism, or dignity and decency moved you, this is a good 'starter' for a Seeger collection.
