Pete Seeger Live At Mandel Hall 1957 (2-CD)

An iconic figure in the mid-20th century American folk music, Pete Seeger grew up in an environment full of music and left-wing politics, following in his father's footsteps traveling the American South collecting and recording traditional songs. On October 12th and 13th of 1957 Seeger performed at The University of Chicago with both shows captured on this two disc-set as he plays a selection of both his own material and folk standards. Accompanying himself on the banjo, 12 string guitar and flute, Seeger ably demonstrates why he is one of the most enduring icons of 20th century America.
