Details: Amazon.ca The indefatigable folk trio of Peter, Paul & Mary is a wonderful focal point for younger listeners, toward whom this two-CD set is clearly geared. With a decidedly left-leaning approach to its craft–at least as far as the lyrics are concerned–the group selects great examples from its lengthy recording career. « If I Had a Hammer » veers from solemn consideration to exultant declaratives, working excellently enough that adults will certainly dig the music. Ditto for « Down by the Riverside » and « Light One Candle, » which booms with an added mixed chorus, giving the song the power of a protest anthem. Not to paint this as an altogether-too-serious effort, though–« This Land Is Your Land » and « Puff (The Magic Dragon) » sweep the ears of kids up in deceptively minimal movements by the trio. Put succinctly, these two CDs mix kid-oriented and adult-oriented music with just the right touch. –Andrew Bartlett Product Description Includes 25 songs just made for campfire sing-alongs!
