Pete Seeger is one of the most recorded artists in American history, and his recording catalog tells us not just the story of his career but the story of our culture and its political and social history. A Pete Seeger Discography: Seventy Years of Recordings is a comprehensive listing of the 45s, 78s, LPs, and CDs recorded by Seeger in his various incarnations: with the Almanac Singers, with the Weavers, as a solo artist, and with other musicians and contributors. David King Dunaway provides information, with easy to use cross-references, on rare recordings and archival collections.

Reviews for Pete Seeger Discography
This one-stop guide to all of Seeger's recorded oeuvre will prove highly valuable to American folk music scholars. Dunaway (Singing Out) divides Seeger's abundant releases into four major segments, grouping them as whole albums; singles; foreign recordings; and a very brief three-page "private pressings" list, which includes recordings never formally issued. Each segment is organized alphabetically by release title and details recording date, label, serial number, collaborator names, and complete track lists....Excellent.
