[Notes]
Two popular Folkways Records artists, Pete Seeger and Sonny Terry, came together at Carnegie Hall in 1957 to combine banjo, harmonica, and vocals for an energetic sing-along performance. Seeger's commentary highlights the origins of the songs, which include Angola, Wales, and different areas of the United States. In addition to biographical information, the liner notes also offer lyrics and banjo and guitar tablature for selected songs.
