Description

Reissue of the 1961 album. Rights Society: GEMA.

Having reached the best-seller charts twice the previous year, the group seemed on the verge of regaining its popularity, and this album must have been intended to foster that comeback. But though the performances were as effective as ever, this collection of songs, among them such stirring and topical works as the Depression-era standard "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?," "Fight On," and "Which Side Are You On?," failed to return the group to its old prominence.

The Weavers' Almanac. The Weavers were an American folk music quartet based in the Greenwich Village area of New York City. They sang traditional folk songs from around the world, as well as blues, gospel music, children's songs, labor songs, and American ballads, and sold millions of records at the height of their popularity. Their hard-driving string-band style inspired the commercial "folk boom" that followed them in the 1950s and 1960s, including such performing groups as The Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul, and Mary.

The Weavers’ Almanac is a studio album the group cut a little while before they disbanded for the final time in 1963. By this time Pete Seeger had been replaced by Erik Darling, although he would very soon depart to form his new trio the Rooftop Singers. The other founding members – Lee Hays, Fred Hellerman and Ronnie Gilbert – remained working until the following year with Bernie Krause. By 1963 the worst excesses of McCarthyism had passed but the Weavers remained committed to delivering songs that drew from their concerns, several of which can be found on this album.
