《Where Have All The Flowers Gone》(花落何处)原是一首反战诗,二战时期被美国民歌复兴运动的先驱Pete Seeger(皮特.西格)谱上曲子做成小样,收进自己1956年的个人专辑《Rainbow Quest》,每个问号都是对人类良知的拷问,很快成为一首具有国际影响力的著名反战歌曲。
Pete Seeger是知名民歌手,一贯注重将人道主义关怀赋予自己的音乐作品,享有“美国现代民歌之父”的美誉。而他本人也对各种抗议活动非常热衷,从民权、反战到环保,哪里需要他,哪里就会出现他的身影。

成立于上世纪50年代末的“四兄弟演唱组”是美国大名鼎鼎的男子民谣团体,出名比披头士都要早。乐团的四位成员并非亲兄弟,而是华盛顿大学的同窗好友。一唱几十年,甚至唱进美国白宫,他们演绎的一般都是通俗民谣,范围不受老歌新歌的限制,多采用木吉他、班卓琴、曼陀铃和贝司伴奏,每人一个声部配合默契,“醇厚、干净、流畅”是最大的特色,以1965年似曾相识的经典老歌《Try To Remember》为典型代表,带给歌迷完美的视听享受和无尽的感动。
