 It takes conviction in these days of George W. Bush to open an album with a medley of union songs. But the biggest challenge faced by Peter, Paul & Mary is being taken seriously since the mockumentary A Mighty Wind lampooned the earnestness of the folk era. Hearing the trio perform “Union Maid” as cheerily as the movie’s squeaky-clean Main Street Singers or tackle a militant song like “Have You Been to Jail for Justice?” as vigorously as the straight-laced Folksmen provides for some unintentional hilarity.
