Precious Friend

Precious Friend

"Precious Friend" is a record by Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger with "Shenandoah" (produced by John Pilla) and a Warner Bros. recording.

"Precious Friend" was recorded in 1981 at the Poplar Creek Music Theatre, Pineknob Music Theatre, Greek Theatre and Concord Pavilion. It is a compilation of songs from when Guthrie and Seeger toured together. Some of its most famous songs are: "Kisses Sweeter than Wine", made famous by The Weavers, "If I Had a Hammer", and a multi- religious "Old Time Religion".

Arlo also has a few "songs" that are more just him telling stories and thinking out loud. Pete has one too. The song "Sailin' Up, Sailin' Down" is based on his Hudson River Sloop Clearwater to clean up the Hudson River in the 1960s and beyond. They also perform two of Woody Guthrie's songs.
