Rhiannon Giddens Covers “How I Long for Peace” for National Voter Registration Day: Listen
Today (September 17) is National Voter Registration Day. To mark the occasion, Rhiannon Giddens teamed up with Joy to the Polls and HeadCount to release a new cover of Peggy Seeger’s “How I Long for Peace.” Giddens made her new song with singer-songwriter Crys Matthews and the Resistance Revival Chorus. Hear the track below.
“Rhiannon, Crys, and company have done an amazing interpretation of my song ‘How I Long for Peace,’” Peggy Seeger stated. “It really works and will take this simple song to new levels. Thank you, Rhiannon, as always—now it’s on its way!”
Giddens added, “When Crys asked me to collaborate on this with her I got really excited. I have been a longtime Peggy Seeger fan and think she has written an incredible song that says some hard but crucial things and most importantly allows space for us all to wish for a better world.”
Last year, Rhiannon Giddens won the Pulitzer Prize for Music. She followed her victory with the album You’re the One.
