After a career spanning 50 years with more than 60 albums, legendary folk singer-songwriter Tom Paxton has announced he will add another LP to his expansive catalog. ‘Redemption Road’ will arrive on March 10 on Paxton’s own Pax Records.

Paxton came up with fellow folk icons, including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Dave Van Ronk, in the venerable '60s Greenwich Village scene. Now 77 years old, Paxton continues that classic folk tradition with ‘Redemption Road,’ which he says will contain political, carefree and heartfelt tunes alike.

However, even in his most poignant moments, he says his songs aren’t autobiographical.

“When I’m writing a so-called confessional song, in my mind, I’m writing it for all of us,” Paxton said a statement released today (Jan. 13). “Tom Paxton is only a minor character in the first-person singular songs. It’s very seldom that it’s myself and myself alone that I’m writing about. I’m really writing in a Walt Whitman kind of impersonal ‘I.’”

Paxton will tour in support of ‘Redemption Road’ alongside Janis Ian. The tour -- which Paxton says may be his last before taking a break from the road -- includes dates from January through April, but there will hopefully be more shows added throughout 2015.
