Episode 2: Around the World

In this episode, we’ll start to dive into the albums in your box set, starting with The Weavers’ second album, At Carnegie Hall.  Recorded live at Carnegie Hall in New York City on Christmas Eve, 1955, and released in 1957, the record  paved the way for Vanguard’s entry into the folk world, saved the Weavers’ from the entertainment industry blacklist and was a catalyst for the folk boom. To explore this album, VMP sat down with Jesse Jarnow, the author of the book Wasn't That a Time: The Weavers, the Blacklist, and the Battle for the Soul of America, to talk about the story of the album’s creation, the true radical nature of The Weavers, McCarthyism and more.
