The Weavers - Weavers Gold: Folk Songs By The Weavers (1962)

The Weavers, famous for hits like "Goodnight Irene" and "Tzena Tzena Tzena," not only achieved lasting fame with this album but also transformed folk music from a novelty into a popular favorite. The renowned group, at the time of recording, consisted of Lee Hays, Fred Hellerman, Ronnie Gilbert, and Pete Seeger. They believe improvisation is the essence of folk music and, utilizing unique harmony (two baritones, an alto, and a tenor), achieve a sound that is both fresh and authentic. The album features cherished folk songs such as "Clementine," "Rock Island Line," "Across The Wide Missouri," and "Down In The Valley." These songs defy the passage of time and are performed by The Weavers in an unduplicated manner.
