CD Reviews

So-so

Morty Fink | Vermont | 07/21/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Ardent Weavers fan. Been to all of their concerts. Have all of their recordings including some I made on a wire recorder in 1947. This CD was basic. Nothing to write home about."

Memory Lane

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I would give this 5 stars if it had more songs, but it is very nice to have the old music in the new format."

Ridiculous

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I adore The Weavers, but Vanguard Visionaries is an extraordinarily disappointing series, given that the label is being so stingy with its offerings. The label has an excellent roster. If they wanted to publicise their archives, they could have been a great deal more generous at this price - or else offered it for $6 or so. It's also disappointing that Vanguard is ignoring some of the wonderful stuff in its archives and focusing instead on meaningless releases of this variety - the "greatest hits" by the same artists, on the same label, are a much better deal."
