Posted on November 27, 2010 at 8:15 am
Yes, it sounds a little bit like “A Mighty Wind,” but this is the real deal, a PBS concert sing-along with Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary, joined by Noel Paul Stookey, Keb’ Mo’, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Billy Jonas, and Bethany & Rufus, taped in August in the Concert Hall of New York. It’s a perfect holiday weekend treat for the whole family to join on classic songs like “Polly Wolly Doodle” and “Blowin’ in the Wind” and some less familiar like “Weave Me the Sunshine.”
John Sebastian and Folk Rewind
Posted on November 26, 2010 at 6:30 pm
John Sebastian of The Lovin’ Spoonful (“Do You Believe In Magic”) hosts the latest installment of the popular “My Music” series features a treasure trove of historical footage not seen in over four decades, plus exciting new concert performances.
Sebastian takes viewers through the extensive archival material, sharing the stories behind the music as he uncovers classic folk performances from the ’50s and ’60s. But the vintage footage is merely the prelude to the final act – an exciting new concert featuring some of folk music’s most enduring artists. All the original members of The Chad Mitchell Trio reunite to perform Bob Dylan’s anthem “Blowin’ In The Wind.” Jesse Colin Young of The Youngbloods offers the generation-defining hit “Get Together.” Barry McGuire belts out his 1965 chart-topper “Eve Of Destruction.” And Roger McGuinn of The Byrds delivers an unforgettable encore of two of his biggest hits – “My Back Pages” and “Turn, Turn, Turn.”
