UNDERAPPRECIATED MUSIC: AMERICAN FAVORITE BALLADS, VOLUME 1

From Smithsonian Folkways Records, here's the first volume of American Favorite Ballads as sung by Pete Seeger.  The songs are all familiar, a part of our combined cultural past.  Many of these 28 tunes were so familiar when we were children that we forget we knew them.

Enjoy.
