Album Notes & Community Reviews

Delving into the history of American westward expansion, 'Frontier Ballads' features the legendary folk singer interpreting traditional cowboy songs, miner laments, and pioneer anthems. Armed with his banjo and a stark, unadorned vocal delivery, Pete Seeger breathes life into oral traditions that chronicle the rugged 19th-century American experience. It is a vital educational and historical document from the pre-eminent folk archivist of his generation.
