Subject: RE: Springsteen - The Seeger Sessions
I have just listened to 3 songs from Springsteen and I think the backing music is brilliant and with Bruce's singing it all adds to excellent listening. Its happy music. Its so great to hear somebody take old folk songs and whip em up and give them a fresh feel.

I run a folk club, and I get to hear people who have taken an old number and redone it in a totally different style and I applaud them.

Francy, I completely disagree with your comments below. I certainly would recommend it

Quote I have listened to it a half a dozoen times already and wouldn't recommend this to any one who loves folk music.....this is for springsteen rockers and that's it End of Quote

There are too many people who sit in their own time warp and will not change. That in my honest opinion gives folk music such a bad name with the youngsters.

I am almost 61, and like all types of music and I applaud anybody who makes the effort to take an existing song and revamp it in a different style and gives it fresh appeal.

Great job Brucie babe.
