Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits
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 onPete Seeger's Greatest Hitsinclude 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
