	Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits by Pete Seeger Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $3.93 Pete Seeger's voice melts like butter on warm pancakes. He seems to be a great man, too, and really cares about making the world better. His songs are just wonderful.
	The Weavers - Greatest Hits by The Weavers Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.95 This is an excellent disc to start with on your trip into the songs by The Weavers, the band that made folk music popular. They were black-listed during the red scare of the `50's and that was that.
	The Kingston Trio/...From the "Hungry i" by The Kingston Trio Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $9.90 Buy this one first and then buy them all! The Kingston Trio were great singers and funny, too. Don't forget about the hard-to-find John Stewart CDs, too.
	Two Classic Albums from The Limeliters: The Slightly Fabulous Limeliters and Sing Out! by Limeliters Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.99 If you want folk music with a lot of fun, the Limeliters deliver. Lou Gottlieb knows folk music...and Glenn Yarbrough sure could sing!
	Sibling Revelry: The Best of the Smothers Brothers by The Smothers Brothers Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $5.98 The Smothers ("yep, that's our real name") were more than a TV show and jokes. They sang like only brothers could.

	Their Complete General Recordings by Almanac Singers Buy used from: $35.95 Pacificism in the early 1940's wasn't hip. This band featured Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, Woody Guthrie and others. This is a must-have.
	Phil Ochs in Concert by Phil Ochs Buy used from: $18.50 Phil Ochs: you never heard him on the radio. That's sad. Here's a good place to start in his collection of albums.
	Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan Buy used from: $1.50 Woody Guthrie's young protege, Bob Dylan...this is how it all began. Bob's first three albums paved the way for folk music in the mid-1960's
