Everything Changes is a 2014 album by American folk singer Peggy Seeger. It is Peggy's 22nd album and was released on September 1, 2014 by Signet Music.

Recording

Although Seeger was 79 when it was made, it is the first solo album which Seeger has recorded with a band (rather than solo or as a duo). Musicians included Calum and Neil MacColl, her sons with her late husband Ewan MacColl.[1][2] One track, "Swim To The Star", was commissioned by the BBC for a program about the sinking of the Titanic.[2]
