The Weavers

Биография:

— американская фолк-группа, образовавшаяся в 1948 году в Гринвич Виллидж, Нью-Йорк, и оказавшая значительное влияние на развитие современной музыки, положив начало фолк-буму 1950-1960-х годов и став (согласно Allmusic) ключевым звеном, которое связало фолк-сцену с поп-культурой. Квартет, в репертуар которого входил традиционный фолк, версии народных песен разных стран мира, блюз, госпел, рабочие гимны и детские песни, прошёл короткий, но драматический путь — от огромной коммерческой популярности до полного неприятия, став жертвой маккартизма и развернувшейся в начале 1950-х годов «охоты на ведьм».
Пластинки и концерты The Weavers способствовали популяризации песен, которые впоследствии приобрели статус «стандартов»: в их числе — «Goodnight, Irene» (13 недель #1 US), «On Top of Old Smoky», «Follow the Drinking Gourd», «Kisses Sweeter than Wine», «The Wreck of the John B» (известная также как «Sloop John B»), «Rock Island Line», «Midnight Special», «Pay Me My Money Down», «Darling Corey».
