5 out of 5 stars True Folk Music.......2006-07-16

I started playing the guitar in the early 60s, and most of what I played and sang was folk music - Joan Baez, PP&M to name two. This CD is absolutely inspiring. It reminded me of how committed I had been to a better world. I'm ashamed to say that I drifted away from this music, but I still have my guitar, so it's time to get back on board and work towards freedom, peace and justice.

5 out of 5 stars The legacy of Peter, Paul & Mary as folk singers.......2002-04-22

The idea behind "Songs of Conscience & Concern" is Peter, Paul & Mary sang lots of other great protest songs besides their popular hits "If I Had A Hammer," "Blowin' In The Wind," and "Where Have All The Flowers Gone." I might not have heard PP&M sing many of the songs included in this retrospective collection, but several of them are quite familiar from all the folk music I have been listening to this year. The album begins with the Weaver's "What That A Time" and Woody Guthrie's "Pastures Of Plenty," two songs I have recently discovered and greatly admire. The issues covered in these songs stretch from the Great Depression to today and the songs come from a dozen PP&M albums, although it is not surprising that three of the songs come from their "Flowers and Stones" album. One of the things I really noticed on this album was that they reflect not only the graceful harmonies of the trio, but that the instrumental work on some of these songs is as good as anything we have heard them do. With their successful holiday concerts and the enduring legacy of "Puff the Magic Dragon," it is important sometimes to remember that Peter, Paul & Mary were folk singers, and that once upon a time folk singers were the social conscience of this nation. This album is a remember of those times.

4 out of 5 stars Touching CD!.......2001-01-13

This Peter ,Paul and Mary Cdis a dimaond in the ruff.It contains all lesser known songs.So if you want there famous and best songs you won`t find them on here .However the song EL SALVADOR takes us back to the Reagan presidency and wonders why are troops are there?But the one song that made this album a must by for me is DON`T LAUGH AT ME!...THIS SONG WILL SIMPLY TOUCH YOUR HEART!The song reflects on all the kids and people who are always ridiculed for there awkward appearances or social status.Maybe every cruel kid who tortured another kid as a child should listen to this song?As the song says in the end we all will get our angel`s wings.We are truely all equal in the eyes of God.If you wish to teach your kid about life ,buy this cd and listen to this song!

5 out of 5 stars A Great Compilation of the Music PPM is Best At.......2000-10-05

PPM have been my favorite group ever since my parents bought us their first albums in the early sixties. I have also raised my now college-aged kids on PPM. I thoroughly enjoy this CD, even though I have all the songs (except the new one) on my other PPM CDs. My favorite titles are "Danny's Downs", "Home is Where the Heart Is" and "Don't Laugh at Me". They make us "conscience" of social issues that affect all of us here and now. It is great to have most of my favorite PPM songs on one CD. It is great to see that after 40 years they are still giving us great 'G' rated music.

5 out of 5 stars Don't wait.......2000-08-16

I was reluctant to buy this CD because I had all the cuts, except their latest, on other CD's and albums in my collection. I have to say now that the recordings are all exceptional performances and "Don't Laugh at Me" alone is worth the price of the CD. Don't wait . . . don't hesitate to invest in a copy of this CD for yourself.
