Pete Seeger - American Folk Songs For Children
Review by Halldór Kristinsson
American Folk Songs For Children is a timeless album that showcases Pete Seeger's talent as a musician and his passion for preserving traditional American folk music. The album is a collection of classic songs that have been passed down through generations, including "This Land Is Your Land" and "Skip to My Lou."
Seeger's warm and inviting voice is the perfect accompaniment to the simple yet beautiful melodies of these songs. He also adds his own unique flair to each track, with his signature banjo playing and occasional harmonica solos.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Michael Row the Boat Ashore," which features Seeger's call-and-response style singing that is sure to get children singing along. Another highlight is "Frog Went A-Courtin'," which is a fun and playful song that will have kids hopping and dancing along.
