Selecting material mostly from the pages of [[Sing Out!]] magazine, Pete Seeger performs 20 "contemporary topical and political songs," as [[Folkways Records]] head [[Moses Asch]] puts it, with "contemporary" defined as the 25 years leading up to the album's 1958 release date. Annotator [[Irwin Silber]], who was also editor of Sing Out!, calls the result a "living newspaper of history."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/gazette-vol-1-mw0000882272|title=Gazette, Vol. 1 - Pete Seeger &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits|website=AllMusic}}</ref>
