COLUMBIA RECORDS TO RELEASE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S 'WE SHALL OVERCOME THE SEEGER SESSIONS' ON APRIL 25
Columbia Records will release Bruce Springsteen's twenty-first album, 'We Shall Overcome The Seeger Sessions,' on April 25. The album features Bruce's personal interpretations of thirteen 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 the 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 and a few words." Springsteen recorded the album with
a large ensemble. The musicians on the record are Springsteen (guitar,
harmonica, B3 organ and percussion), Sam Bardfeld (violin), Art Baron
(tuba) Frank Bruno (guitar), Jeremy Chatzy (upright bass), Mark Clifford
(banjo), Larry Eagle (drums and percussion), Charles Giordano (B3 organ,
piano and accordion), Ed Manion (saxophone), Mark Pender (trumpet),
Richie "La Bamba" Rosenberg (trombone) and Soozie Tyrell (violin). Lisa
Lowell, Patti Scialfa, Springsteen, Pender, Tyrell, and Rosenberg contribute
backing vocals. 'We Shall Overcome The Seeger Sessions' Track Listing
