Born into folk music's first family, Peggy Seeger has blazed her
own trail artistically and personally. Jean Freedman draws on a
wealth of research and conversations with Seeger to tell the life
story of one of music's most charismatic performers and tireless
advocates.Here is the story of Seeger's multifaceted career, from
her youth to her pivotal role in the American and British folk
revivals, from her instrumental virtuosity to her tireless work on
behalf of environmental and feminist causes, from wry reflections
on the U.K. folk scene to decades as a songwriter. Freedman also
delves into Seeger's fruitful partnership with Ewan MacColl and a
multitude of contributions which include creating the renowned
Festivals of Fools, founding Blackthorne Records, masterminding the
legendary Radio Ballads documentaries, and mentoring performers in
the often-fraught atmosphere of The Critics Group. Bracingly candid
and as passionate as its subject, Peggy Seeger is the first
book-length biography of a life set to music.
