Admittedly, we throw around the term "legend" quite often around here, but when describing
folk hero Pete Seeger the word seems like a vast understatement. Seeger
passed away on Monday and it had us thinking back to the exceptional American
Masters installment about Pete that aired on PBS in the late '00s. Pete Seeger -
The
Power Of Song provides a fantastic look at the incredible life that the singer-
songwriter lived.
After Seeger's passing, it was hard to find the documentary online as outlets like
Amazon.com quickly sold out of its inventory of the DVD. Thankfully PBS has shared the
entire documentary for our viewing pleasure. The Power Of Song uses interviews,
archival footage and home movies to illustrate Seeger's career as a musician, activist and
exceptional human being. Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen, Natalie Maines (the
Dixie
Chicks), Tom Paxton, Arlo Guthrie and Seeger himself help tell a story worth hearing.
We highly advise taking 90 minutes out of your day to watch The Power Of Song:
