One of the most influential albums of the past two or three generations. Pete introduced "We Shall Overcome" to the civil rights movement. How can anyone top the impact of that song on our sensiblities ? He has always been modest about fame, being more interested in the message of the music in helping make a better world. And the other songs of the peace movement. Turn Turn Turn, Where have All the Flowers Gone?, and so many others that many of us know, but few know that he penned. He influenced Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, and so many others.
It is hard to underestimate the impact of this fine person no matter what his flaws might be. He has a way of seducing an audience with music of the people and then when they are comfortable, he slips in the message of struggle and change and the importance of making an effort. This is Pete's great achievement and this album is the essence of the 60's and so much that was good about the era. He is the good father to all of us and teaches dignity and honor. Did you know he was blacklisted by McCarthy? That he would not testify against his fellow artists? What a night that must have been at Carnegie Hall in 1963.

Woody Guthrie is unquestionably the most important folk singer of the 20th century. Guthrie's greatest gift was perhaps his ability to invest everything from protest songs and populist anthems to outlaw ballads with unfailing humor, compassion and insight. Indeed, his paeans to migrant workers, hobos and dustbowl refugees convey America's restless, expansive heart no less than the writings of Walt Whitman or Mark Twain. Guthrie's influence on Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and countless others is immeasurable; his children's albums are second-to-none.
