This is my first music review so bear with me. As you can tell from my previous reviews, I like people to share my experience of the product. It's kinda harder to do with music and I certainly am not gonna quote lyrics.
Thankfully, there is an easier way and this is my get out of jail card:
1) Open new tab and go to Youtube.
2) search for 500 miles (possibly add in Peter Paul and Mary)
3) see them reach out to you those decades ago.
4) feel the shivers.
There are so many definitives on this album. You suddenly realise that the words and melodies just fit so well. It is easy to compare most songs favourably to any of its latter day rivals or counterparts(if you can find any). Many artists and groups would kill to have a curriculum vitae that encompasses a similar wide ranging group of works and I am not even talking about the collaborations with the giants of their day.
The shivers that you feel are like the ones you get from walking an old road from your childhood.

Although I never bought a Peter Paul and Mary record in the 60's you always heard their music around you. Listening to this brings back memories of many of the important events you would see on the television coming from America, the Civil Rights movement,Martin Luther King,the anti Vietnam demos and their music and presence was always nearby.What a great CD it is and how nostalgic it is. I'm still not sure about the stories of what Puff the Magic Dragon means but Stewball is a real treasure , very American folksy.I think it is a brilliant collection of songs,great harmonies and well worth purchasing.And of course I never drank water I only drank wine

This is a CD of music from an era when rock and roll dominated the scene, to the great concern of parents and authorities alike, often overshadowing less contentious folk music.
The recordings of Peter Paul and Mary demonstrate how folk music of the era could be adopted by young and talented artists and hold its own against the influence other more controversial genres.
Unlike many of today's manufactured boy bands and groups Peter Paul and Mary could actually sing, play their own instruments, and write beautiful music - in their own unique style.
Their music is a true today as it was decades ago, and just as beautiful. If you love music created by fellow music lovers add this to your collection.

This CD arrived in good time and in good condition. This CD takes me back to some rare 1960s tracks.

Wonderful renditions of old folk favourites. Sadly Mary died earlier this year - I wonder what happened to the others.
