CD Description
With their beautiful harmony vocals and gentle melodies, Peter, Paul & Mary were the most popular folk act of the 1960s. While Bob Dylan was unquestionably the genre's most influential and revered performer by the mid-1960s, it was Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers who helped him toreach a larger audience with their accessible '63 renditions of his "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right". In addition to Dylan, the group also championed the work of Gordon Lightfoot and John Denver, most notably with the wanderlust tales "For Lovin' Me" and "Leaving on a Jet Plane" (a runaway hit in '69), respectively.
All of the aforementioned tunes are presented on THE VERY BEST OF PETER, PAUL & MARY, a 25-track set carefully compiled by the trio itself. This 2005 collection focuses almost exclusively on the '60s and '70s work of PP&M, with the exception of the deceptively breezy "El Salvador" (from '86) and 2003's "Don't Laugh at Me", which finds the threesome in fine voice morethan 40 years after the group was founded in New York City's Greenwich Village. Also included are three early-'70s solotracks--one apiece by Yarrow, Stookey, and Travers--rounding out this wonderfully selected disc, which is a must for any folk collection.
Customer Reviews
Remember Peter Paul and Mary 
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
AWESOME - SUBLIME - MAJESTIC!
This is a superb and comprehensive compilation.
Whether you're about to listen to Peter, Paul & Mary for the first time or looking for a collection that includes all your old favourites, this is the one for you.
Pleased with the gift
Purchased this CD as a gift for my brother in law who was very pleased with it.
