FOLK/ACTIVIST ICON PETE SEEGER, 93, SURVEYS PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE ON TWO NEW CDS – A More Perfect Union, which includes guest appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Tom Morello, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, and Dar Williams,
contains 14 fresh songs that present Pete’s and longtime friend and
fellow songwriter Lorre Wyatt’s responses to recent political, economic
and environmental issues alongside gentler appreciations of life’s good
moments, meditations on the future, and exhortations to individual
action. Pete Remembers Woody, a two-CD set, celebrates the centennial birth year of Pete’s friend, quasi-mentor and sometime musical partner, the late Woody Guthrie,
through Pete’s spoken, firsthand reminiscences as one of the last
contemporaries of our country’s first great topical songwriter.
Interspersed are renditions of Woody’s songs by Pete with Woody’s son
Arlo, other Guthrie-influenced performers, and Woody himself (from a
vintage recording).

are very pleased to be working with AirPlay Direct. With all of the
illegal downloading going on in the music industry, it’s nice to see
downloading used to a label’s advantage, instead of its destruction.
AirPlay Direct has been wonderful in helping us make the transition.” Jim Musselman, Founder Appleseed Recordings
