Product Description
CD Description
It was future Bob Dylan manager Albert Grossman who first came up with the idea of forming something of a super folk group in New York in 1961, finally selecting Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey and Mary Travers and giving them the distinctly memorable if not original name Peter, Paul & Mary. They selected material from a variety of sources; Peter Seeger and Lee Hays 'The Hammer Song' by The Weavers in 1958 was reworked four years later into 'If I Had A Hammer' whilst Bob Dylan s 'Blowin In The Wind' and 'Don t Think Twice, It s All Right' were given the folk treatment and turned into major US pop hits. As far as UK audiences are concerned Peter, Paul & Mary are best known for 'Leavin On A Jet Plane', a track that had originally been something of a filler track on a John Denver album but was turned into an international smash once Peter, Paul & Mary got hold of it. This album proves that their ability to turn material from such diverse sources never stopped them making compelling music. Although they disbanded in the mid-1970s they reformed some three years later.

"Weave Me the Sunchine" is a pretty good compilation of some of their more "modern" songs (ones they were writing and performing in the 1980s),
but many can also be found on their "Greatest Hits" CD, which is probably a better investment. PP&M helped lead me to John Denver, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Weave me Some Magic
30 July 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Peter, Paul and Mary are truly magic together and I love, love, love the title song. All the songs are good of course, but that is an especially great one. How could anyone not love this music?

PP&M are one of the true Icons of American Folk Music.
They are wonderful to listen to on low volume in the AM or
more with a bit more vigor in the evening. I will always love PP&M.

Peter, Paul and Mary CD

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love all of Peter, Paul and Mary's music, so I suppose this is a biased review. All the material on this cd has been previously released, but it is a nice representation of their work.
