Thread Name: Springsteen - The Seeger Sessions
Subject: RE: Springsteen - The Seeger Sessions
I bought the album last week and I must say I enjoy it.
Amongst other things, it will surely open some youngsters to the idea of folk music, and arouse their curiosity to find out more.
But I'm not here to talk about that.
I was intrigued with the album cover's intro to "Mrs. McGrath". - "Strongly associated with the Irish Republicans and the Easter Rising of 1916".
This was news to me.
Does anyone know any more about this association?
