Tom Paxton & The DonJuans with Amy Speace
Tom Paxton has become a voice of his generation, addressing issues of injustice and inhumanity, laying bare the absurdities of modern culture and celebrating the tenderest bonds of family, friends, and community.
In describing Tom Paxtons influence on his fellow musicians, Pete Seeger has said: Toms songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them, whistling them, and singing a verse to a friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, theyre becoming part of America. Pete goes on: In a small village near Calcutta, in 1998, a villager who could not speak English sang me What Did You Learn In School Today? in Bengali! Tom Paxtons songs are reaching around the world more than he is, or any of us could have realized. Keep on, Tom!
Tom Paxton & The DonJuans
Collectively, their songs have been covered by: Harry Belafonte, John Mellencamp, Miranda Lambert, Neil Diamond, Ray Charles, Nancy Griffith, Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, Janis Ian, Kathy Mattea, John Denver, Faith Hill, B.J. Thomas, Blake Shelton, Peter, Paul & Mary and Bob Dylan just to name a few! Within days of writing and playing together, they knew they were onto something. Now theyre taking it on the road!
