The Ballad of Pete Seeger

by David King Dunaway

Amazon says:
Who is this rail-thin, eighty-eight-year-old with the five-string banjo, whose performances have touched millions of people for more than seven decades? Bob Dylan called him a saint. Joan Baez said "We all owe our careers to him." But Seeger's considerable musical achievements were overshadowed by political controversy when he became perhaps the most blacklisted performer in American history. He was investigated for sedition, harassed by the FBI and the CIA, picketed, and literally stoned by conservative groups. Still, he sang.

by Jim Longhi

Amazon says:
Woody, Cisco and Me is a "must read" romp, reading like a novel, that gives the reader rare insight into World War II experiences in the Merchant Marine with Woody Guthrie, his folksinging friend Cisco Houston, and Jim Longhi, who was shamed by Woody and Cisco into joining with them.

by Joe Klein

Amazon says:
Before he became Anonymous, author of the political novel Primary Colors, Joe Klein wrote this intelligent biography of America's legendary folksinger-activist. Klein's first book may not have created the fuss that Primary Colors did, but it attracted the attention of no less a celebrity than Bruce Springsteen, who used to cite it with respect during concerts before singing Guthrie's most famous lyric, "This Land Is Your Land."

by Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger

Amazon says:
This is the original road novel -- even though it takes the form of autobiography. If Guthrie didn't actually invent the footloose, no-strings-attached American hero (remember this guy Twain who wrote something about lighting out for the territory?), he certainly solidified the 20th-century version. Guitar slung over the shoulder as he sprinted to boost himself aboard freight trains, a man of the people equally at home with urban intellectuals, Guthrie incarnated for generations of Americans the artist as free spirit. This is the book that created the legend.

by Pete Seeger, edited by Jo Metcalf Schwartz

Amazon says:
Decades of work and travel have made him famous but he remains forever in tune with the folk. In this book he describes his friends and inspirations, his conflicts with the bosses and the government, his favorite songs, stories, and instruments, and the kind of learning that comes from listening carefully. "Any fool can get complicated," he writes. "We are born in simplicity but die of complications."
