Find out about Annie Patterson’s music, tours, and recordings.
The college radio station at Bowdoin College made an exceptionally fine audio recording of this nearly 2 hour concert in 1960, when Pete's voice was at its very best. Blacklisted for refusing to testify at the House Unamerian Activies Committee (HUAC) during the 1950's, college campuses provided one of the few venues where Pete could perform for many years.
Lively song collection produced by Annie Patterson, recorded by Jim Henry. This 30-track CD includes a wide variety of simple but moving songs with themes of peace, multicultural diversity, faith, joy, and gratitude. Annie sings on all but 2 of the songs. Songs include a variety of voices and instrumental accompaniment including banjo, guitar, mandolin, doumbek, cajon, cello, and fiddle.
26 classic labor songs, peace songs, freedom songs, and songs of hope especially selected by Pete Seeger for this 1998 compilation.
This album is Pete's premier eco-recording. It includes 5 songs about environmental issues by Malvina Reynolds, along with Pete's classics "People Are Scratching" and "My Dirty Stream". The other songs celebrate the precious gifts of nature, love, and old traditional songs.
