Peggy Seeger - First Farewell [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.'First Farewell' will likely be Peggy Seeger's final original solo album, but mellowing is not her style and she's not going quietly. Her remarkable 24th solo album underscores her importance & continued relevance as a songwriter and performer, cementing her place as one of the most uncompromising and inspiring female artists of any genre and age.

rrThere is so much to say about Peggy Seeger: a monumental figure in folk music in the UK and USA; still writing and touring at age 85; an unbroken 68-year career; a constant musical innovator (at aged 77 she was a vocalist on dance single 'England' by Broadcaster that became a Radio 1 Record of the Week); a style icon (designer Bella Freud named a sweater after her in 2019); numerous international awards; an active campaigner on the environment, social and feminist issues.

rrForemost, Peggy Seeger is a passionate advocate of the ability of music and community to change lives. With storytelling running through her bones and an unshakable belief that music is activism, these eleven new songs deliver powerful tales both personal and political: Life-long love; the invisibility of old age; the joys of not giving a damn anymore; loneliness; young male suicide; modern slavery; social media addiction and a tongue in cheek twist on the Cinderella story.

rrDespite some serious topics, 'First Farewell' expresses Peggy's indefatigable optimism, inquisitiveness and sheer lust for life. A deep love runs through it from start to finish, leavened with a healthy dose of wry self-knowledge.

rrFirst Farewell is the first to be written and recorded entirely with Peggy's immediate family members - sons Calum and Neill MacColl (established musicians & songwriters) and daughter-in-law Kate St John (Dream Academy). It's also her first album to reference her roots as a classically trained pianist rather than entirely as a folk musician. The simple piano arrangements hark back to the avant guard compositions of her mother, the Guggenheim fellowship composer Ruth Crawford Seeger.

rrPeggy Seeger - First Farewell is gratefully supported by grants from both PRS Foundation Women Make Music Award and Arts Council England National Lottery Award.
