Double Vinyl LP. 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.””
