Check out the bassist! Grin (00:01:09, for example). The audience is pretty scary, as well.


P.S. But I have to agree about the PP&M version. It's easily the most-listened-to song of my The Very Best Of Peter Paul and Mary collection. Pure bliss.

I'm definitely going to download all these suggested covers of "If I Had A Hammer". Shall listen to them & get my own idea which version is the best. Thank you, my friends!

Yeah, that Peter Paul and Mary version is incredible...sends chills. Mary Travers was years ahead of her time...not many young girls looked or moved like that in 1963.

ONE presents Richard Barone & Al Jardine - If I Had A Hammer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-ON2O4UTUI
Al does a nice job on this one, though
Holy moly, this made my morning.

Agreed. As far as I'm concerned, Al has gone from being the dorky guy you tended to to overlook / disregard to being the coolest living Beach Boy. His vocals on the reunion album and tour were stellar!

Great videos, many thanks to you for sharing them, Pretty Funky! I liked the melody of the folk song, very optimistic, dig the banjo. And as usual, Al did terrific performance! Others were nice as well. Generally, I think I need to hear the Seeger's original & compare it with this tremendous cover.

Love Al's Hammer remake. Here's to a full-on folkie album from Al!

All the guys are such prisoners of their musical legacy. More power to 'em when they break out of the shell and do what moves 'em.

Goodly said, Mr. Dah! Only one correction: Brian left off his shell to go solo very long time ago, back in 1988, as you must know but has forgotten for some reason. He continues to be a creative force. So, not all the guys are prisoned in cage w/o new musical ideas.

An interesting thought!

Did Brian ever really "break out of the shell" during the past 30 years? I wish he did! The Gershwin record (despite the somewhat unimaginative backing tracks) may be pretty close and judging from his vocal performance on that album it was something that got him at least very interested, which I suspect is a rare thing to happen.

And he wears sunglasses indoors. I once got into a lift with him. He was wearing sunglasses and looking all smug like he expected to be recognised, then looked at me in disgust when I didn't react to his presence.

Hey, I went through quite a U2 phase. In Bono's defence about the sunglasses, I'm pretty sure it's been said he has some sort of eye disorder that causes him to go just about blind for quite a while after being exposed to any bright light. Of course, I'm not denying that his ego is at least a bit over-inflated. But I think he's a pretty good singer (even if not quite as good as he thinks he is Tongue )

Fair enough about the eye condition. Less so about giving people evil looks for not being overawed by his existence...

I was going to suggest the Gershwin album as an example (although I do have a guilty pleasure for the 4/4 shuffle beat numbers, like They Can't Take That Away From Me). Perhaps Orange Crate Art could be another example.

Ain't Necessarily So has some dark Ira lyrics that are uncharacteristically Brian, which is why I found his rendition so refreshing.

Com'on Al. Call some young heavy cats down to Red Barn, such as Nickel Creek - you'll knock out an album in record time and it'll sell close to Postcard numbers.
