PETE wins Grammy Award

On February 26 1997 it was announced that PETE had won a prestigious Grammy Award
for Best Traditional Folk Album of 1996.

Pete and Toshi Seeger joined album-producer Paul Winter and the Living Music team at the Grammy Awards Ceremony in New York. Pete's musical influence was aknowledged and Pete was given a standing ovation when he collected the award.

Playing masterful banjo and 12-string guitar, Pete sings with gusto and soul on the Grammy-winning album's 18 tracks, which include many of his timeless classics such as:
    • My Rainbow Race
    • Old Devil Time
    • Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
    • Of Time and Rivers Flowing
    • To Everyone In All The World
    • Well May the World Go (in which he plays dueling banjos with Paul Prestopino).
PETE also contains the traditional ballads "How Can I Keep from Singing" and "The Water is Wide"; Leroy Carr's great blues number "In the Evening"; the activist rap song "Garbage"; and three songs recorded here for the first time: "Huddie Ledbetter Was a Helluva Man," "Natural History (Spider's Web)", and Don West's anthem on Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."
