Seeger Sessions

The Seeger Sessions refer to the period when Bruce Springsteen performed and recorded music with a band inspired by the folk and protest music of Pete Seeger, a legendary American folk singer and activist. This approach marked a shift from his usual rock sound to a more acoustic, roots-oriented style, emphasizing traditional folk instruments and songs that address social issues, community, and American history. The album "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions" captures this collaboration, showcasing a lively, communal feel that honors Seeger's legacy of music as a tool for activism and social change.
