In the Wind: The Folk Music Collection	The Very Best of the Seekers	The Mamas & the Papas - Greatest Hits The Mamas and the Papas had a sound that helped define a portion of the 1960s.

"California Dream...

Eclectic "folk"
Overall a good CD with a nice variety. Only downer for me though is that the "Banana Boat Song", "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"; and "Goodnite Irene" are not my idea of folk music and just didn't seem to "fit" with the other songs on the CD.

It's a Hootenanny!
If you watched the ABC Hootenanny TV show during the Sixties this CD will seem a pleasant drive down memory lane. Although only a handful were true coffee house songs, this is a nice mix of the lighter songs of folk music. These were songs that played the airways of AM radio and could be heard on top 40 stations. Listening to this made me think of the political outcries and the dreams of youth making a better world. This will appeal not only to those that joined the Peace Corp, but anyone that likes music with good melodies and light to languishing verses. A must have for any pop or folk music collector. I have collected a number of folk music CDs and this is a favorite. I highly recommend this CD.

Folk Hits of the '60's
Teriffic CD that younger crowd today would appreciate since majority of these great tunes go unplayed by mainstream radio.

Good old stuff
If you like the golden age of coffee houses and folk music, you will love this collection.

Loads of memories.... but
I loved this CD. It brought back some great memories of childhood. However, I could have done without the Trini Lopez covers... I never heard them before I got this CD.
