Review
Today, his politics may seem dated, but folk legend Pete Seeger has never sounded better than on this 21-track (three previously unreleased) set of "protest" tunes. Of course, the contentious Seeger found malfeasance everywhere, so this album is a loosely defined collection of love odes, lullabies, and folk ballads. It's an album of contrasts: the instrumental "Ode to Joy" blends into the spoken word of "Goliath, Goliath," while Phil Ochs's "The Draft Dodger Rag" is followed by a flute instrumental on "Mao Tse Tung." The banjo legend shines on upbeat numbers like "Harry Simms," the sweet "Queen Anne Front," and even on a cappella songs, like "One Grain of Sand." Sure, "Draft Dodger" may not have the same impact it did in '66, but when the minimalist Seeger belts out "Walking Down Death Row," the punch is timeless. --Jason Verlinde
