Comment:

Some of Pete's biggest songs are ones that influenced [i]somebody else[/i] to record them. Take the "Wreck of the John B," which you probably first heard as "Sloop John B." The Weavers' version, complete with calypso-style horns, inspired the Kingston Trio's cover, and [i]that's[/i] the one Al Jardine took to Brian Wilson for a rock 'n' roll rewrite. The Kingston Trio themselves had a hit with the Seeger-penned lament "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?," and even though it's been covered literally dozens of times, from Dolly Parton to Marlene Dietrich, Pete and his fingerpicked banjo bring an unadorned simplicity to it that underscores the lyric without veering into melodrama. And we go back to the Weavers one last time, for their roof-raising-hootenanny-as-history-lesson, "Wasn't That a Time," a song the group not only recorded several times throughout their career, but which also provided the title for the award-winning 1982 documentary that's a must-watch for any folkie with an interest in the music's heritage.
