Springsteen got the idea after recording "We Shall Overcome" for a Pete Seeger tribute album. Given his rock and roll historical past, Springsteen became now not familiar with Seeger's music and his research commenced to intrigue him and he determined to discover the folk genre in greater detail.
The album went directly to win the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album and has sold over seven hundred,000 copies within the United States on my own, which is not any suggest feat for a folks album.
The most stunning component about these songs I locate, is the message of folks that wrote them all the ones years ago, nonetheless holds relevance within the current global. Ok, it can be argued that worldly themes in shape of Love, lose, loss of life, patience and hardship amongst many more will usually preserve relevance, but I locate myself being drawn closer to the characters within the testimonies. After all they have been simply trying to live on like the rest folks.
The Bruce Springsteen Seeger Sessions changed into additionally released as a live DVD, recorded in Dublin's Point Debut in addition to being filmed and broadcast through the BBC. There are various videos scattered around YouTube, which can be really worth checking out. You'll be amazed to look the amount of artists who've blanketed these songs all through the years.
