COLUMBIA RECORDS TO RELEASE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S
'WE SHALL OVERCOME THE SEEGER SESSIONS' ON APRIL 25Columbia 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' will be released in DualDisc
format, with the full album on one side of the disc and DVD content on
the other side. The 30 minute video side of the DualDisc contains
extensive behind the scenes footage of the recording of the album. In
addition, the DualDisc package will contain two bonus tracks and a
special booklet including a note from Springsteen.
Springsteen is planning a short tour in the U.S. and Europe to accompany
the release of the album. He will be appearing with most of the
musicians who appeared on the CD. Details will be announced separately.
According to Springsteen's longtime manager Jon Landau, "'We Shall
Overcome The Seeger Sessions' has a lightness and ease to it, a sheer
joyfulness, that makes it very special from top to bottom. Bruce has
taken a core group of classic American songs and transformed them into a
high energy, modern and very personal statement."
