Album Notes This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. Bruce Springsteen is certainly no stranger to acoustic-based, folk-inspired music. He began his career as a post-Dylan troubadour, and he's been making "unplugged" albums as far back as 1982's NEBRASKA. He's already recorded Woody Guthrie material, so it's not a shock that he would release a tribute album to folk icon Pete Seeger. WE SHALL OVERCOME: THE SEEGER SESSIONS celebrates not just Seeger's musical influence, of course, but also the political stands the singer took, which obviously resonate with the famously progressive Springsteen. Unlike NEBRASKA, though, this is no bare-bones affair. The E Street Band may be absent, but Bruce tackles Seeger's tunes in classic larger-than-life Boss style, with a huge band that includes several string players, a horn section, accordion, and more. Incorporating everything from Dixieland to zydeco into the folk/blues template, Bruce stirs up a rowdy cauldron of Americana teeming with as much pure human passion as social import. WE SHALL OVERCOME is likely to be one of the biggest albums ever made under the "traditional folk" banner, but it's full of small surprises as Springsteen gets to the spiritual and musical heart of the matter. | Find errors in the product description?

Top Reviews  it is a rockabilly treat! 12 of 13 people found this review helpful. If you like early rockin Bruce, youll like this CD. It is a treat to hear Bruce put passion into these songs. This CD combines a rock balladeer with a wide array of instruments and music genre to produce a pumping (the hammond b3 organ style), twangy, jazzy CD. You will find yourself humming the tunes and singing the tunes thru out the day. Enjoy the Boss at his finest. No offense to Bob Dylan - but you can understand every word Bruce says on this CD. Added 6/26/2006: if I can't convince you with this review take a peak for yourself at www.aolmusic.com where you will find 18 videos - one from each stop on the US Tour. The music comes to life.

Review ID: 10000000006824729 Was this review helpful? Report this review Lively folk, country musicReview created: 12/07/07 by: I heard Bruce Springsteen's song, Pay Me My Money Down, on the radio recently. I just absolutely loved it. To me it was a mix of folk, country and a little Polish polka mixed in. I just had to have it. I searched Half.com, found the song, bought the CD and I listen to it everyday. It's foot stomping, hip swaying, body gyrating music to me. It uplifts my mood and spirit and keeps me singing all day. His voice so fits all the songs on this album. I can get so many of his albums on half.com for a fraction of the cost. I'm now a Springsteen fan and at age 65 I LOVE IT! Geri Sofia Review ID: 10000000004776887 Was this review helpful?
