Peter, Paul and Mary Carry It On: A Musical Legacy

Carry It On: A Musical Legacy features rare archival performances of songs which energized the spirit of the nation's cultural and political renaissance. They include "Blowin' in the Wind" from the 1963 March on Washington, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his legendary "I Have a Dream" speech, and "The Times They Are a Changin'" sung at the Newport Folk Festival. These and other historic moments are woven together with songs and clips from the Trio's four highly acclaimed PBS specials as well as intimate rehearsal renditions of new songs from their album In These Times. Do Peter, Paul and Mary still carry it on? No question! Just watch and listen.

The story of Peter, Paul and Mary offers a fascinating insight into the early 60s folk/roots movement that sprung forth from New York City's Greenwich Village. This PBS special offers a history of the band, with recollections from all three members of the group. Some amazing archival material has been unearthed to supplement the musings on history, and the historical impact of political upheavals on the group's music is fully explored. An incredible tracklisting offers many of the band's best loved songs, including "Mary Had A Little Lamb," "Leaving On A Jet Plane," "River of Jordan," and many others.
