According to a spokesperson, the material ranges from new takes on old favorites, vintage songs that have never appeared on an album and short banjo, guitar and recorder pieces. Seeger will play a handful of shows through the end of the year, including his annual Seeger and Guthrie Thanksgiving concert on Nov. 29 at New York's Carnegie Hall.
Asked earlier this year by Billboard what his legacy will be, Seeger replied, “My family will remember me, and a few others. I'm one of a lot of songwriters. There'll be more important things to think about. Mostly I'd urge people, don't make heroes out of anybody. I've made a huge number of mistakes with my family, in singing and in politics, all sorts. So don't copy what I've done. Please, make your own mistakes. Don't make my mistakes over again."
