Seeger, Peggy - Teleology [CD]

Peggy Seeger's 25th and final solo album, to be released the month before her 90th birthday, is a fitting tribute to over 70 years as a working musician, feminist and activist. This is no apologetic or quiet farewell - she's going out with a thoughtful, philosophical and very satisfying BANG. Peggy's voice and songwriting are still major forces to be reckoned with. Nine brand new songs and two reinterpretations span the pillars that have sustained her career. Written and recorded with family members - established musician sons Neill and Calum (Calum also produced the album) and daughter-in-law Kate St John - this album is sheer class, suffused with love and respect. There is so much to say about Peggy Seeger: a monumental figure in folk music in the UK and USA; a constant musical innovator (aged 77 she was a vocalist on dance producer Broadcaster's Radio 1 Record of the Week); a style icon (designer Bella Freud named a sweater after her); countless international awards; an active campaigner on the environment, social and feminist issues; 25 solo albums and over 100 collaborative albums.
