Bruce Springsteen - We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions

49th Annual Grammy Awards
Best Traditional Folk Album
We Shall Overcome — The Seeger Sessions
Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen's 21^st album, We Shall Overcome, The Seeger Sessions features Bruce's personal interpretations of 13 traditional songs, all of them associated with the legendary guiding light of American folk music, Pete Seeger, for whom the album is named. Speaking of the origins of new music, Springsteen said, "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 a few words." Springsteen recorded the album with a large ensemble.
