Pete Seeger is the sort of person who has become the stuff of legend for all the best reasons. As a musicologist, he's been a passionate archivist of folk songs of all sorts from around the world for most of his life, and thousands of people (perhaps millions) would not have heard songs such as "Goodnight Irene," "This Land Is Your Land" and "Wimoweh" (aka "The Lion Sleeps Tonight") had he not championed them. The Essential Pete Seeger is a fine introduction to his work as a musician, and includes an excellent liner essay by Dave Marsh, as well as testimonials from Joan Baez, Billy Bragg, Roger McGuinn, Bruce Cockburn and many others on the lasting importance of these songs and this artist. But isn't it high time Pete Seeger got the full box-set treatment that his body of work deserves and demands? Or at the very least a two-disc entry in Legacy's Essential series? Track Listing.

The late Pete Seeger was such a broadband conduit of folk music, who recorded so prolifically, that compiling a brief survey of his catalog is a daunting task. This suicidal love song, a folk standard, was first recorded by Leadbelly, who made it his theme song. But Seeger and the Weavers turned it into a haunted populist lullaby, and a number one pop song, in 1950. In folk music tradition, Seeger revised this African-American traditional song, helping to repurpose and popularize it as maybe the key anthem of the American Civil Rights Movement. He performed it memorably at Carnegie Hall on June 8, 1963, at a concert recorded for the album We Shall Overcome.
