If the folk music of the 1960s had a supergroup, it would be Peter, Paul and Mary, who consisted of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey and Mary Travers. Today we want to feature an entire album listen for Peter, Paul and Mommy, their Grammy Award-winning album from 1969.

Each of the trio’s previous albums featured at least one song for children, and according to Paul Stookey in a 1993 interview with Billboard, this album grew naturally from there. In addition…

I’ve always felt that folk music was the most wonderful children’s music, because it wasn’t age-ist. Kids liked it and that was that.

Mary Travers, of Peter, Paul and Mary

Mary Travers died at the age of 72, in September of 2009 due to complications from chemotherapy, treatment for leukemia that she’d been fighting since 2004.

So join us as we give a listen to Peter, Paul and Mommy, and hear such timeless songs as “It’s Raining”, “Going to the Zoo”, “Mockingbird”, and our personal favorite “Puff (The Magic Dragon)”.
