We Shall Overcome, SpringsteenReview created: 07/08/06

I love this cd, Bruce has done it again, absolute genius! It is a mixture of folk and funky bluegrass, with a little bayou jazz mixed in for good measure! I never thought anything would be as good as Bruce with the E street band, but I was wrong! Seeger Sessions Band is superb! GREAT CD! Thanks Bruce you never disappoint!

Buying really fun musicI originally decided to buy this because of a sample view and listen of the song, John Henry, which I saw on the net. All of the songs are recorded in live sessions with conversation interspersed and gives it a special flavor. The Bruce comes through as the folksy troubadour who does not disappoint in the songs on this disc. Speaking of the disc, it is double sided with dvd and cd. The pain of it is that I had to buy a special WMA encoder to play it, but once done there was no problem. I especially like the song, "Pay Me My Money Down." If you like folk music, you'll love this disc.

This is a great CD! 5 OUT OF 5!This is a wonderful CD by Bruce Springsteen. The music is powerful and the arrangements just crisp rich. Pleasure to listen as it brings back another historical era that has been forgotten. Springsteen has been joined by a power house band.

Bruce Springsteen's new CD, "The Seeger Sessions", is great. It is wonderful to hear these old songs, and they do such a great job on the music. I was given a copy, which I liked so much that I bought one to send to my grandson. This kind of folk music is what I like!

a must haveReview created: 07/02/06
by:
admitedly I am not a huge Springsteen fan. I've always tended towards more alternative music (REM, Cure, Death Cab) but this CD won me over. I grew up listening to my parents Pete Seeger records, so I'm familar with the original material. I love Springsteen's soulful interpretation of these fold songs...all I can say is that this is a must have CD.

This treasure chest of songs of America is given new life thanks to an outstanding collection of musicians surrounding Bruce Springsteen. No one in today's music could make a song like Erie Canal sound so heartfelt. If this doesn't win a Grammy, it's a huge oversight of the voters of the academy. The Seeger Sessions is a must have for anyone who loves acoustic music.

I like the idea of a dual disc and I like the music on this one. I bought it because Springsteen is such a master of music and has really put together a fantastic disc. This is a side of Springsteen I never knew he had. This is my first music by him and if he continues to sound like this, I will be buying more.

The reason I purchased this CD is that I am a big fan of Bruce Springsteens. I have never found anything of his that I do not like. I like the songs, many which I grew up hearing. This CD is a wonderful tribute, well worth buying. Also, you get the DVD to watch them perform in Bruce Springsteen's home. Relaxed, fun, and wonderful to watch. I am very pleased I purchased this CD.

This is a fun record0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
These are great songs and it is fun listening. Some of the more emotional songs like "we shall overcome" really resonate, but the happy songs are more enjoyable. I have already probably listened to "Old Dan Tucker" 20 times and I only unwrapped the CD 5 days ago.

Yes it is Bruce Springsteen so that alone makes it good enough to buy --but it is way too folksy for me.

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.

Tribute has heart, but has too many instruments; simple would have been betterReview created: 07/31/06

This lively tribute to Pete Seeger, by Bruce Springsteen and clutch of musicians, has a lot of heart, a lot of love and without a doubt respects the music. But (oh, no, the dreaded but in a review) it doesn t always work for me though; there are simply times that certain instruments don t FIT the song. Just because you have brass doesn t mean you have to use the horns in a song. I feel somehow unkind finding fault with this musical tribute; I ve been a fan of Seeger since high school (long time) and his love of American music, audience involvement, bringing history alive, there s so much to...

I don't want this record to stop!
Let me begin by saying that I don't consider myself a Springsteen fan. I love some Bruce records but by far not everything, so I am usually careful when it comes to Springsteen records. This one was decided for me, however - I got this as a gift. Right now I am pretty thankful to the person who got this album for me because from the moment I put it in my stereo, I just listened and listened and listened. The first time I listened to it, I must have just sat there for the duration of the album, listening, taking in every sound, having a soul holiday! This is truly a remarkable folk record....
