A Pete Seeger Playlist

Pete Seeger sang all kinds of songs: Some that he wrote, some in which he took poems or Bible verses and set them to music, some that were covers of songs written by colleagues like Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly or Bob Dylan.

And other acts of the folk and rock realms, in turn, often covered songs that were associated with Seeger. What follows is a playlist that features plenty of Seeger, as well as lots of other artists, like Johnny Cash, Ani DiFranco, Toots & the Maytals, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Tony Trischka and Billy Bragg doing songs penned by or identified with the folk singer and political activist, who died Monday at the age of 94.

There are a pair of tunes from Bruce Springsteen's 2006 We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions album, a couple of songs by The Byrds, and seveal tracks from Where Have All The Flowers Gone: The Songs Of Pete Seeger, the 1998 tribute album on West Chester's Appleseed Recordings label. And there's also a version of "Where Have All The Flowers Gone," sung by Marlene Dietrich, whose singing voice Seeger once imitated while talking to me on the phone.

Oh, and just for fun, here's a transcript of Seeger's testimony before the House Unamerican Activities Committee in 1955.
