Notes: Audio Mixer: Bob Bickerton. Liner Note Author: Peggy Seeger. Recording information: Nelson, New Zealand. Photographer: Irene Pyper-Scott. Peggy Seeger's musical pedigree is immaculate, of course, but it's sometimes forgotten how vital and engaging a performer she is. This live disc, recorded in 2010, certainly helps remedy that, as she delivers a wonderful and varied set ranging from traditional British ballads to Dock Boggs' "Country Blues" and her own material, all punctuated with a series of anecdotes and stories, some wistful, some hilarious, all of which testify to her consummate performing skills; she's completely at home in front of an audience. She's an excellent musician and singer, one who's grown and learned to make the most of her voice. In a time when youth is constantly celebrated, she's a reminder that there can be no substitute for experience and life. ~ Chris Nickson

Born into a musical family (she shares a father with Pete Seeger, and her mother was a modernist composer), Peggy Seeger is a traditional folk singer and songwriter, and a tireless crusader for human rights. She got her start professionally in 1956 when she joined the British folk group the Ramblers, featuring future husband Ewan MacColl and archivist Alan Lomax. This began a decades-long collaborative effort between her and MacColl before he died in 1989. Seeger also recorded solo albums and collaborated with other folk stalwarts of the day. As of the early 2000s, Seeger is still busy on the concert circuit, and also gives workshops about songcraft, performance, and feminist issues.
