Bruce Springsteen - We Shall Overcome (The Seeger Sessions/+DVD) [Digipak] (CD 2006)

Every track is good. the band are excellent (as you would expect. the album was recorded in a relaxed style. although all of the songs are traditional they have the added few lyrics of springsteen and his voice

I first saw this on BBC4 TV so I brought this DVD plus CD, the music is great
and if you can sit still while it is on then you need to see a Doctor.
Foot Tapping finger snapping it has the lot. As Bruce states Rock & Roll was
here years before it was discovered. I play the CD every day and the DVD as
often as I can. Its just GREAT.

I had booked a short break to dublin and decided to check if any decent bands were going to be playing while i was there. the last band i had seen was Orson and i was keen to banish that memory as quickly as possible.
To my delight, the boss was in town and i quickly secured tickets for the opening night. What i didnt realise at the time was that bruce had parted company with the e street band and was now touring with the seeger session band on the back of the album.
I hate not knowing songs when i go and see at band, so i decided to buy the album despite not having heard any of the songs on it. i was in for an unexpected treat.
the album boasts 17 folk styled songs and with the unmistakable springsteen delivery and the excellent accompanying band they really come alive although its not until you see them live that you realise just how good every member of the band is.
I would recommned this album to all bruce fans, even though it is clear step away form his traditional sound. The added bonus of a dvd featuring live performances makes it good value aswell.

Bought this for my husband as I took him to see Bruce live in Bologna, Italy.
CD brings back the songs from hearing them live.
thanks

I love the style of music. Folk, bluegrass, even an Irish Traditional influence. "The Boss" and his band are excellent, especially as this was recorded live with no rehearsals. The reworking of these traditional tunes is just pure class.Highly recommended.

Very good album, recorded live, proper musicians. More of a folk music feel then the usual Springsteen.

I've always been a big Bruce Springsteen fan,so would have probably bought it anyway.I saw the live concerton BBC2 & recorded it & just had to buy the album.

It is without doubt one of the best albums i have heard,listen to it without tapping your foot i dare you
