Bruce Springsteen - We Shall Overcome The Seeger Sessions

Columbia Records has just released We Shall Overcome The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen. The CD is a compilation of 13 traditional songs that are all related to the great Pete Seeger. If you listen to the previous 20 albums by Springsteen it is apparent that he has a deep interest and love for traditional folk music.

"So much of my writing, particularly when I write acoustically, comes straight out of the folk tradition. Making this album was creatively liberating because I have a love of all those different roots sounds... they can conjure up a world with just a few notes and a few words." - Bruce Springsteen

Whether you like Bruce or not, it is hard not to have respect for his volume of work. He also has a great reputation for his live performances. I was fortunate to see him during the Born in the USA tour in 1984, and it was a grand show. 22 years later I am sure he is still putting on a great concert. More information is available at the Official Bruce Sprinsteen website.
