Paul and Mary Peter - Peter, Paul And Mary on CD

Description

The legendary trio's eponymous 1962 debut produced two classics-- "Lemon Tree" and Pete Seeger's "If I Had a Hammer". Because they were always hipper and more political than the Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul & Mary were soon frequently credited as the group that transformed American folk music into 1960s pop. It would be another six months before they really exploded with "Puff the Magic Dragon" and then another six before they brought Bob Dylan into the mainstream via their hit covers of "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Don't Think Twice"; nevertheless, the debut features their gorgeous covers of "Cruel War" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone", making this disc mandatory for folk fans.
