My guest this week as John McCutcheon. We discussed his new CD To Everyone in All the World: A Celebration of Pete Seeger. In honor of the 100th anniversary of Pete’s birth, John’s new CD pays tribute to his friend and mentor with help from a diverse group of John’s friends including the bluegrass strings of of Hot Rize, the Cajun soul of Beausoleil, the stunning harmonies of Canada’s Finest Kind, the lush alto of Nicaragua’s Katia Cardenal, blues great Corey Harris, fiddle wizard Stuart Duncan, and country music’s Suzy Bogguss. (Click on the link below to hear the discussion.)

Also this week, songs of respect, service and civil rights in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.
