Pete Seeger • 26 songs • 1 hr 12 min

If I Had a Hammer: Songs of Hope & Struggle is a 1998 compilation album by Pete Seeger and was released on Smithsonian Folkways as SFW40096. This collection is a compilation of 24 songs selected from hundreds released on Folkways Records in the late 1950s and 1960s and two new songs recorded especially for this collection. Pete plays the 5-string banjo and the 12-string guitar and appears on some tracks with Almanac Singers and his grandson Tao Rodríguez-Seeger. The booklet contains detailed notes by Mark Greenberg explaining the origins of each song, as well as how their structures have evolved over the years. The album is divided into segments addressing "unions and labor," "peace," "civil rights," and "hope."
