Pete Seeger is one of the most recorded artists in American history, and
his recording catalog tells us not just the story of his career but the
story of our culture and its political and social history. A Pete Seeger
Discography: Seventy Years of Recordings is a comprehensive listing of
the 45s, 78s, LPs, and CDs recorded by Seeger in his various
incarnations: with the Almanac Singers, with the Weavers, as a solo
artist, and with other musicians and contributors. David King Dunaway
provides information, with easy to use cross-references, on rare
recordings and archival collections. The discography offers details on
Seeger's recording history, including the album title, song(s), other
artists on the recording, the publisher and number, and the year or
exact recording date if known, as well as the original release date and
the re-releases of each recording. Structured to make locating details
easy for readers, the recordings are organized chronologically and
categorized by albums, singles, private pressings, and foreign releases.
Readers can easily cross-reference through album and song title indexes
and a contributing artist index. An appendix listing the unreleased
archival holdings of the Smithsonian Folkways collection under Moe Asch
completes the volume, and a photospread with more than 30 of Seeger's
album covers convey a pictorial recording history of this well-loved
artist. The authors gratefully acknowledge Furthermore: a program of the
J.M. Kaplan Fund, for their funding assistance in preparing this
discography.
