AMG Review of Vanguard Visionaries

James Christopher Monger
All Music Guide

The Weavers installment of the Vanguard Visionaries series features the folk revival classics "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," "Wimoweh," and "This Land Is Your Land," but at ten tracks, this is hardly the definitive Weavers collection. Listeners should check out Rev-Ola's Hard, Ain't It Hard: Weavers Greatest Songs or, for the more adventurous, Bear Family's massive Goodnight Irene: The Weavers, 1949-1953 box set.
