Pete Seeger & Brother Kirk Visit Sesame Street is the first album on the Sesame Street Records label to consist of entirely new material. It features folk singers Pete Seeger and Frederick Douglass Kirkpatrick, singing a mixture of traditional and contemporary folk songs with Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch and the Kids. Before (and sometimes during) some of the songs, Pete talks about the songs' meanings, and about the people who wrote them.
