Bob Dylan/Pet Seeger - Singer & the Song [CD]
Singer & the Song
Bob Dylan/Pet Seeger
CD Rel Date: 2014-06-24
2014 two CD collection containing 40 legendary recordings. Pete Seeger, the granddaddy of the Folk protest movement turned out traditional Folk songs of the under classes and new songs with messages of peace, love and social justice played on simple chords; He was also one of the earliest champions of the young Bob Dylan, 22 years his junior, who would go on to become a reluctant 'voice of a generation' and one of the first true legends of popular music. The causes Seeger and Dylan championed over half a century ago may not burn so brightly in our collective conscience in these inward-looking days of social networking, but the words they wrote still resound. Their influence on the music of the last 50 years is impossible to overestimate.
