The Weavers

To Marqmike - add The Mommas & The Poppas to the list (or however you spell 'em).

Mrs. Weaver. All of them.

Although I happen to not be a Weavers fan, I would call this review of the original "Weavers at Carnegie Hall" album (not the "Reunion" album) to the attention of those who have offered sarcastic comments. It was written by a noted popular music critic and journalist. Some excerpts:

... on Christmas Eve [1955], the Weavers played a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall, initiating the second phase of their career and, in the eyes of most observers, inspiring the folk revival that led to the popularity of such performers as the Kingston Trio, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul & Mary, and Bob Dylan.... It's easy to hear what all the fuss was about, and not just because of the thunderous applause....

It's easy to hear both the sources of the folk revival in the music of Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, African-American spirituals, and international folk songs, and the future of folk-pop music as it would be enacted by the Weavers' successors in this show, which is what makes The Weavers at Carnegie Hall a key recording in the history of American folk music, as well as a singularly enjoyable live performance by a remarkably talented quartet.

Thanks Marty and Ghosthouse. Yes the Mamas and Papas are cool harmonies. Thanks again

Kinda like Belafonte at Carnegie Hall and Belafonte Returns to Carnegie Hall. Not everyone's taste, but, Jesus Christ, what sound!
