Loved the piece in this week’s New Yorker about Pete Seeger. And I’m real excited about Bruce Springsteen’s new album, WE SHALL OVERCOME: THE SEEGER SESSIONS, to be released on April 25th.
Makes me want to listen to some old Pete Seeger albums again and reminisce about all the times I saw him perform in the 1960’s at anti-war demonstrations and the time I saw him perform in Ithaca in the late 1970’s.
Don’t miss the New Yorker profile. It’s just great.
e.om
I second that. I grew up on Pete Seeger songs, and I’m glad that a new generation will have the chance to hear his music.
Amen to that. I’ve got my album on pre-order. You can see a video of him doing “John Henry” at this address:
